Lake Baikal
Dog sledding

This is the ultimate way to experience the stunning views of this untamed land. Your dog team will eagerly whisk you along, allowing you take a breath of the crisp clean air. All that you will hear is the swish of the sled, and the straining of the harness as you travel through the wilderness, barely changed since the first explorers drove their dog sleds across this savage landscape.

Listvyanka is famous for its trade history. From the 18th century its ferry took merchants across the lake to Mongolia and China and the Far East . The Museum of Lake Baikal provides information about the origin and wild life of the lake.

Note: When taking a dog sled ride,there is a possibility to share a lap among tourists, e.g. the lap of 10 km can be started by one tourist and after 5 km ride a shift with another person may be done, so 2-3 tourists can try dog sledding one after another during 10 km ride. It is also possible to arrange a ride longer then 10 km.
