Day 3 - 9: Off the beaten tracks: Your artic sea husky experience
With your "own" team of 6 dogs, we set the compass northwest and reach the mountain plateau on the very same day - a fascinating, sparse, and wind-swept landscape. We will break our own trail and continue the journey. During these days, we will also pass the "Stabbursdalen" valley. Here, you will have the opportunity to try ice fishing and admire the incomparable beauty of the Arctic Sea. You will move further off the beaten path, fully enjoying the freedom that sled dogs offer. Depending on weather and dog sledding condition you will reach the cosy house "Stenbukt" located in a remote bay right on the sea on day 8 or 9 to enjoy the isolated location. What an amazing and unforgettable once in a lifetime experience.
