The journey to the kennel of the northern sled dogs of Andrey and Anastasia Semashkin "SNOW DOGS" begins with a trip on snowmobiles. The nursery is located two and a half kilometers from the road. The path will pass through a snow-covered forest, and then through the tundra. At the entrance to the nursery there is a stunning view of the "Home" volcanoes. You will see in the immediate vicinity the famous Kamchatka trinity – Koryaksky, Avachinsky and Kozelsky volcanoes.

ethno-block
Acquaintance with the nursery will begin with a meeting in the national dwelling – yurt. The guests will be told by aborigines about the life of the northern peoples of Kamchatka. You will learn about why the Northerners collected moss, how they used to harvest berries and fish for the winter, and much more. In a warm yurt, under the crackle of burning logs in the oven, you will be taught northern dances and will perform the oldest ancestral songs with elements of throat singing.

excursion to the kennel "Snow dogs"
We will continue the tour by getting to know its inhabitants, including the famous dogs participating in the longest and most extreme dog sledding race "Beringia". 130 dogs live in the kennel and each of them has its own story. You will get to know the dogs who have broken all records by going through the longest dog sled race in the world. These amazing animals have covered more than 2,100 kilometers across the snow-covered tundra. You will see Siberian huskies, Alaskan malamutes, Samoyeds, riding mestizos.. All northern dogs are human-oriented and you can cuddle and take pictures with them.

visit to a deer farm
8 reindeer live at the Snow Dogs kennel – the wayward and self-confident leader of the small reindeer herd North, a very modest and well-mannered Diamond, the gentle northern beauty Spring and others. You can not only feed the animals, but also take pictures with them.

dog sledding
This is the most extreme adventure that awaits you at the Snow Dogs kennel. Before the start of the ride, there will be an instruction on the rules of team management and safety.

They accompany the teams on snowmobiles, ensuring the safety of the route.
