Dog-sledding

Disputes on who was the first to reach the North Pole – Robert Piri or Frederik Cook, – have been on till now. But we have our own point: the first to conquer the North Pole was a draft dog.

Draft dogs participated in all the scoopy discoveries and explorations of our planet’s polar areas. And many researchers paid respect to these patient, hardy and utterly devoted animals.

Draft dogs on Lake Baikal appeared seven years ago and have already become one of the regional highlights. In winter, everyone arriving in Listvyanka where the Baikal Dog-sledding Center is, looks forward to if not going for a ride then mixing with these friendly creatures.

Driving a dog team is rather expensive, therefore one-day 40 km trails http://abtours.ru/ru/winteradventure/wintercoctail.html are of greatest popularity. And if you want to make similar to our great ancestors we can offer you a separate trail on a dog team with some elements of expeditionary tourism, lasting for days.
