Expedition Light in Norway: Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Alta
Once you arrive in Alta, you will be collected from the airport and taken the short distance out to the farm. Once you have dropped off your belongings and had a chance to freshen up, you will receive comprehensive instructions on handling your dog sled before heading out on a short run to give you the opportunity to practice your skills.
After a delicious dinner, you will be able to take an evening dip in the outdoor Jacuzzi or warm up in the sauna. Overnight accommodation will be in one of the special lavvo tents that are furnished with a double bed, a woodstove for heating, and a special ceiling window so that you may keep an eye out for a glimpse of the Northern Lights.

Depending on availability, accommodation in the Arctic Dome Suite is also possible. Please note that the wilderness huts you will stay in during your husky expedition are shared accommodations without running water or electricity. The price refers to the accommodation per person based on a two-person occupancy.
Additional Information:
The safety of our guests and animals is our top priority on all of our tours. The far north can have fluctuating and unpredictable weather with very strong temperature differences. Whilst we strive to follow the planned trails as closely as possible, we reserve the right to change the order of activities, the route of safaris, and the intensity of the excursions should the needs of our guests or animals necessitate it, or if the weather conditions compromise our pre-planned route. This involves both adjustments due to insufficient snow (meaning we cannot drive the sleds) or too much snow (snowstorms and extreme cold can cause accidents and various other problems). The required adjustments and fallback options in rare cases are based on the day-to-day conditions and can be compensated by shorter or longer daily stages, alternative accommodations, or even single day trips. In extremely rare cases we may organise alternative transport (ie. cars, quad bikes, etc). Feel free to contact us if you would like a more detailed assessment of this tour and travel period. The service providers and tour providers always perform their services in compliance with and in accordance with the official requirements and requirements applicable at the time of stay. For this reason, corona-related reasonable usage rules or restrictions may arise when using said services. Please note these official requirements (Google Translate).
Note: We recommend booking additional categories and guided activities directly with the tour package (several weeks or months before arrival), as these may be fully booked at the time of travel.

Habe ein wunderschönes Wochenende dort verbracht. Die Betreuung seitens der Guides war sehr gut. Der Umgang mit den Hunden und das Fahren mit dem Schlitten wurde uns erklärt. Vermisst habe ich, dass wir im wesentlichen hintereinander her gefahren und dem Leitschlitten gefolgt sind. Kommandos zur Steuerung des Hundeteams haben wir nicht erhalten. Dennoch kommen Hundefreunde voll auf ihre Kosten. Die Unterbringung in der Lodge war angenehm, Tipis, Aufenthaltsräume, Sanitäranlagen, Sauna machen einen neuen und gut gepflegten Eindruck und machen den Aufenthalt angenehm. Das Personal ist aufmerksam und sehr freundlich. Einziger wirklicher Kritikpunkt: Das Essen. Der ganztägige Aufenthalt an der frischen Luft macht hungrig und die wirklich schmackhaft zubereiteten Speisen wurden in Mengen serviert, die sicherlich die meisten Teilnehmer hungrig vom Tisch aufstehen ließen.
