Snow Dogs offers dog sledding tours, cart rides and Kennel visit at our Kennel Vallholt between Lake Mývatn and Akureyri, North Iceland. Visit the pack at our kennel and get to know how joyful, intelligent and gentle they are. Get to know their love to pull and work and of course to cuddle and play. We have created a unique sled dog environment where we emphasize respect for the dogs and focus on their well being. We keep them unchained so they can socialize in fences at our kennel. In our kennel are about 25-30 dogs so we can give each dog a lot of attention. Snow Dogs welcomes families with children all ages. And people with special challenges. Usually we start our dog tours from our farm Vallholt. Sometimes when conditions are difficult we move the tours to other locations near by.
