Husky Expedition Norway: Tour Itinerary

Day 1:
Once you arrive in Alta you will be collected from either the airport or city centre 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 practise run to give you the opportunity to practise 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, woodstove for heating and a special ceiling window so that you may keep an eye out for a glimpse of the Northern Lights.

Days 2 - 4:
After a hearty breakfast you will be setting out on your amazing dog sledding tour. Overnight accommodation during the tour will be in mountain cabins that are set within the wilderness.
With your knowledgeable guide leading you, each day you can expect to drive your husky team around 30km through the snowy countryside, stopping for lunch or breaks by an open fire, or perhaps taking part in some side activities.
Each evening you will spend time taking care of your dogs and showing them affection for their hard work, before relaxing with dinner, drinks and great conversation about your day.

Days 5 - 6
On day five you will travel back to your pick up point where you and your husky team and equipment will be transferred back to Holmen Husky Lodge to eat a final dinner and reminisce about your amazing experience. Stay overnight in the lodge to prepare you for your journey home.
Finally, on day six you will enjoy a filling breakfast before transferring back to Alta, taking with you many amazing memories of your husky sledding adventures in beautiful Norway.
