A pack of Siberian Huskies, integrated into the daily life of state-certified ski and mountain guide Hubs Lindner.

The huskies run exclusively inline – i.e., not in pairs – as is common in traditional sledding. This is simply because there are no wide tracks in steep alpine terrain, only the trail pre-groomed by skis.

Accordingly, we have developed a special setting – consisting of kennel housing, feeding, alpine leashes, downhills in formation, ascent and pulling behavior in switchbacks, etc. – and manifest this in our routine: around 120 skitours per winter and around 200 alpine trails per year.

In deep snow, the huskies are allowed to pace down the mountain off-leash.

Since huskies possess a very pronounced and primal hunting instinct, our routine makes the difference.
