You start with a short drive to the camp. Here, you will be kitted out with warm outdoor clothing; Snow overalls, shoes, gloves and hats all provided for you. Then it’s time to meet the dogs. The huskies are harnessed to your sledge, eagerly waiting to transport you across the frozen landscape. We will follow a lead guide and you will be two guests per sledge, where you switch on mushing.

The track we follow is in a landscape of frozen lakes, through forest landscapes and snowy plateaus so you will get close to the arctic wilderness. We will take several breaks en route and stop for a hot drink. If you are lucky, the northern lights will make a magical appearance, during the dark period. When the sun returns, the climate gets milder and the daylight lasts longer.
