Visiting dogs
We believe many of you who come to cheer and watch the competitions have your own dogs at home. We understand it is tempting to bring them but we kindly ask you to let your dogs stay at home. There will be a lot of dogs in a very small area and we would like to create the best circumstances for them. There are approximately 1 500 dogs that are here to compete.
Exception of course for service-dogs or dogs under training to become service-dogs.
According to the Swedish Federation of Sleddogsports, all dogs at the competition area has to be at least four months old and vaccinated against Canine distemper virus, CDV. Random checking may take place so please keep your dogs certificate of vaccination on you.
European Championships Snow 2020 – moved to Åsarna, Sweden
The decision has now been taken to move the European Championships Snow February 19-23 2020 from Falun to Åsarna! The organizers are confident that they can make an excellent competition there as well, even though it will not have the same settings as at the famous Ski-arena Lugnet in the city of Falun with lots of spectators.
Åsarna is located 300 km north of Falun and is this winter the closest possible venue with enough snow. Several major championships have been held there earlier. In Åsarna there are very good trails for both Sled Sprint and Ski-dogs, as well as a full-length Mid-distance trail. The specific trails for each class will be decided and published latest January 26th.
The event place is beautiful with a large stake-out and parking area, but without electricity for campers. There are plenty of lodging facilities in the area.
The website echsnow2020.com will continuously be updated with more information on travel, lodging, trails, administration, etc.
Welcome to the ECh Snow 2020!
