Alaska Dog Sledding — Glacier Camps, Summer Carts & Winter Trails

Mushing is Alaska’s state sport, and the tours run all year — snow trails and heated kennels in winter, wheeled carts in summer, and the showstopper: a helicopter to a glacier where the huskies keep their summer snow.

Why Dog Sledding Tour

Worth Doing in Alaska

Dog sledding in Alaska splits by season and budget: winter brings the real thing — trail runs behind race-line huskies from Fairbanks and Seward kennels, often with Iditarod pedigrees in the harness; summer offers wheeled-cart rides at the kennels and the bucket-list version — helicopter flights from Juneau or Skagway up to glacier dog camps where the snow never leaves. Every good tour ends the same way: puppies. Compare below.
