Book a ski trip from cabin to cabin like Norwegians do

Skiing is Norway’s national sport, and when conditions are just right, exploring snowy landscapes from one cabin to another is an unforgettable experience. Imagine a day filled with fun on the trails, followed by a cozy evening by the fire in a warm, welcoming wooden cabin. Find the perfect spot for your friends and their lucky companion, and gift them the ultimate winter getaway! Just be sure to choose a dog-friendly place so both two-legged and four-legged adventurers can enjoy the trip to the fullest.

Belt for skiing with dogs

When skiing, leg movements differ significantly from running or walking, especially when skating. For skijoring enthusiasts, a belt designed specifically for this activity ensures optimal skiing technique while allowing a dog to pull effortlessly. The innovative Løype belt, developed in collaboration with some of the world’s top athletes in the sport, focuses the pull force around the hips, reducing strain on the lower back and enabling free movement.

For those planning overnight trips with a pulka, the Ferd belt is another excellent option. Designed for demanding adventures and equipped with robust D-rings for pulka attachment, it provides the necessary support and durability to make multi-day journeys with a dog comfortable.

Pulling-harness

Choosing the right harness is essential for ensuring a dog’s comfort and performance during activities. The Freemotion harness 5.0 is designed specifically for sports with a high pulling point, like skiing. Its Y-shaped design allows free shoulder movement and minimizes breathing constraints, providing both comfort and efficiency. This harness has been trusted by champions to win competitions but is equally suited for everyday adventurers. Available in seven adjustable sizes, it comes in four color options to suit every taste.

For those planning to include a pulk in their adventures, the Combined harness offers a similar construction with additional attachment points tailored for this purpose.

If a shorter harness is preferred or for those who ski occasionally with their dog, the Rush harness provides an excellent alternative. Incorporating the same Freemotion technology, it is designed for versatility and comfort, fitting a wide range of eager dogs.

Skiing line

When skiing, a bungee line connects the skier and the dog, providing shock absorption to ensure comfort and protect the backs of both the skier and the dog. The Bungee leash is designed specifically for high-energy sports like skijoring, delivering the ideal balance of elasticity and durability.

For smaller dogs, the lightweight Touring bungee is an excellent choice, featuring a softer elastic section for added comfort.

With a length of 2.8 meters, it creates a safe distance between the skis and the dog’s hind legs, ensuring a smooth and secure skiing experience.

Paw protection

Active dogs can sometimes experience icing between their toes when playing or working in the snow. Dog booties are a practical solution to prevent this and also help protect paws from soreness or cuts. Socks provide an additional layer of protection, ensuring the dog’s comfort during winter activities.

Carrying a set of booties when skiing is essential for safety, as they can be used if a dog develops sore paws or sustains an injury. Long distance booties offer excellent paw protection while maintaining good surface contact. For long-haired dogs, the Contact bootie high provides extra leg protection against snow burs.

Changing temperatures, ice, snow, and road salt can be tough on paws. Regular care helps keep them soft, robust, and adaptable year-round. Our water-free, herbal paw ointment moisturizes paws and helps prevent cracks and dryness.

Snow suit

Snow and ice clinging to fur can make winter adventures less enjoyable. The Protector snow suit offers full-body protection against snow, ice, cold, and wind, ensuring comfort during outdoor activities. Made from elastic material that stretches in all directions, it allows dogs to move naturally and freely.

Warm dog jacket

While moving, dogs typically maintain a comfortable body temperature. However, during breaks or in very cold weather, it’s essential to ensure they stay warm. The Long distance light jacket is an ultra-light option that packs easily into a hydration belt, making it convenient for any adventure. Designed for easy use, it can be put on or taken off without removing a harness and stays securely in place with strong hook-and-loop fasteners. Its ergonomic design provides an excellent fit and full freedom of movement while protecting the chest, shoulders, thighs, and stomach. An optional windbreaker is available to shield male genitals.

For even colder conditions, the Long distance + jacket offers additional insulation, ensuring optimal warmth, recovery, and comfort during the harshest winter weather.

Warm and technical clothes

Our human apparel is thoughtfully designed for dog owners. The lightweight softshell CaniX warm-up clothes are perfect for pre-exercise drills. Featuring practical details, the pants can be easily taken on or off, even with ski boots, thanks to dedicated zippers. The jacket includes back pockets that are spacious and easy to access, ideal for storing essentials like a leash, dog-waste bags, or gloves.

For extra warmth, consider the Trail isolator jacket 2.0, which resists the wear and tear of jumping dog claws. For colder conditions, the Trail isolator+ jacket provides even greater insulation, ensuring comfort during outdoor adventures.

Post-ride essentials

Ensure your friend is always ready to keep their dog hydrated and fed, whether back at the car or from their bag, with a collapsible dog bowl and a durable soft flask.
