Early Winter Training with Huskys: Tour Itinerary
Day 1-7: Your personal early winter training adventure with huskys
We will teach you the basics of driving dogteams and training dogs. We’ll go out on dogsleds every day, stopping for lunch at a fire. This will help learning the dogs to relax during these stopovers, which is an important part of the tours later in season. We use small teams of 4-6 dogs, so as to train as many lead dogs as possible. We drive up to 20 km a day.
We will be out on an overnight trip, where we will stay at a cabin. The goal is to train the dogs to sleep on a stake-out line and let them get used to their dogblankets. Next to the dogtraining we’ll spend time preparing for the winter season: getting the sleds ready, preparing tracks with the snowmobile, prepare cabins and many other chores that need to be done.
If you want to learn more about mushing and the training of sleddogs, this is your chance!

- Mushing your own dogteam

The cosy log cabin has 2 rustic double rooms with loft beds and a large lounge with cooking facilities. One of the double rooms has an additional bed so that a family or group of 5 people can also participate. Electricity and heating are available. There is no running water, and the dry toilet is a few metres outside. Since there is no shower, the sauna (which has a small washing facility) can be used for personal hygiene. The wilderness hut (1 night) also has double beds but no electricity.
Important Information:
Please note that the order of activities may change subject to weather conditions and other external factors. In order to drive a snowmobile, you must hold a valid driving license.
Additional Information:
The order of tours and activities within this itinerary may vary due to weather conditions and other contributing factors that must be taken into account by the guides when planning your tour. You will receive the exact order of activities once you arrive on site. The far north can have fluctuating and unpredictable weather with very strong temperature differences. The safety of guests and animals comes first, and for this reason, we reserve the right to change the itinerary and intensity of activities if and when needed. 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).
