About dog sled trips
Baikal dog-sledding trips are an unforgettable experience in which you are driving your own dogsled powered by a team of our friendly, handsome huskies. These dogs absolutely live to pull. The pulling instinct is so strong that they need training nearly every day.
The dog-sledding base and starting point is located in Listvyanka village which is on the shore of Baikal and 70km away from Irkutsk city. The base has 40 dogs and is run by a family who race the dogs. They live in a wooden hut on the territory of the base. Dog-sledding take place from 11:00 till 17:00.
We offer different distances and durations for the rides — so everyone can find an option, from a short ride of few kilometers, to multi-day hikes by the ice and taiga forest. Check out different options we have, and get to know all the details below.
