Accommodation:
This adventurous journey brings you closer to the natural, simple life in the far north. At the Sky High Wilderness Ranch, you will be housed in rustic, traditional accommodation. Step back in time when dog sleds were used as a means of transport and there was no running water or electricity. Leave civilisation behind for a little while and immerse yourself in the life of a musher. Cooking together by the open fire, chopping wood, and fetching water will be among your daily tasks. There is no running water or electricity at Sky High Wilderness Lodge, but you can leave your electrical appliances to charge in the evening. Light is generated traditionally with gas and completes the cosy atmosphere. The dry toilets are located outside in the open air, and a washing facility serves as the camp shower. The price refers to the accommodation of a double room. At the end of your tour, you will spend the last night at the Best Western Gold Rush Inn Whitehorse (shared double room). All meals are included, except breakfast and dinner in the hotel in Whitehorse.
Requirements:
Please note that the dog sled tour requires a reasonable level of fitness. Special winter boots are already included in the travel price, and high-quality outdoor winter clothing can be borrowed. Please let us know when booking if you want to rent any items of clothing!
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.

Dezember 2019 - Huskytour im Yukon
Es war ein phantastisches Abenteuer in einer traumhaft schönen Landschaft. Das Team um die Tour ist immer freundlich und professionell gewesen. Die Hunde sind toll und man bekommt schnell einen sehr innigen Kontakt zu ihnen. Auch die Verpflegung war hervorragend. Der Aufenthalt im Zeltcamp war sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber auch ein großes Abenteuer. Einfach ein unvergessliches Erlebnis!
