Alaska Sleddog College: Tour itinerary
Day 1 - 12 Musher training
During the first week you will participate in the “Nenana Sled Dog College” where you will undergo complete musher training, including:
- Learning about the operational and organisational structure of the kennels.
- Being taught all about the amazing Huskies, including how to care for and train them.
- Comprehensive training on how to use the sled and all associated equipment.
- Learning all of the skills and techniques you need to mush and drive your dog sled team.
- Daily trips out with your dog sled team and a supervisory guide to practice your sled driving with.
- A variety of longer day trips
Explore the wilderness of northern Alaska with your fantastic and loyal sled dog team. The second week of your course is flexible, allowing you to choose trails of different lengths or ability based on your preferences and confidence. From demanding extensive longer trails to shorter day trips staying closer to base, your guides and supervisors will be happy to support you.
Accommodation is in double or single rooms in our cosy lodge which has hot/cold running water, proper toilets, and showers for your comfort. Our remote location means that internet connection is via dial-up and very slow.
Other activities: weekends will be spent at leisure where you will have the opportunity to explore Nenana and Fairbanks, including museums, restaurants, and pubs. Alternatively, you may choose to spend your time relaxing at the lodge.
Note: This husky sledding tour operates in small groups of around 4 mushers. Whilst suitable for a wide range of ages, the minimum age of participation is 14 and these guests must be supervised by parents/another responsible adult.
Additional Information:
The far north can have fluctuating and unpredictable weather with very strong temperature differences. For this character, certain conditions over large areas are required, which can be influenced by too hot or too cold temperatures. The safety of guests and animals comes first. While we strive to follow the planned trails as closely as possible, we reserve the right to change the order of activities, the route of the safaris and the intensity of the excursions. This involves both adjustments due to insufficient snow (lack of snow) and too much snow (snowstorms, extreme cold). The required adjustments and fallback options in rare cases are based on the current day conditions and can be compensated by shorter or longer daily stages, alternative accommodations or even single day trips and in extremely rare cases by adjustments to the vehicle (wheels, ATV). Feel free to contact us if you would like a more detailed assessment of this tour and travel period.

25.12.2016-06.01.2017 - Husky-Tour Jahreswechsel 2016/2017
Die Husky-Veranstaltung bei und mit Andy Hütten war ein besonderes und tolles Erlebnis. Andy Hütten mit seinen liebenswerten Ecken und Kanten gibt seine jahrzehntelangen Erfahrungen mit seinen geliebten Hunden gerne weiter. Nach einer genauen Einschulung geht es dann gleich los mit den Schlittenhunden-Ausfahrten. Es war zwar zeitweise "saukalt", ist ja Winter in Alaska , aber die schöne Landschaft mit den Schlittenhunden zu erkunden war einfach ein Traum. Beim gemeinsamen Abendessen in der superwarmen Stube gibts dann noch spannende Geschichten vom Andy. Ein Aufenthalt bei Andy in Alaska ist etwas aussergewöhnliches und kann ich nur empfehlen. Vielen Dank lieber Andy.
