Accommodation:
This adventurous journey brings you closer to the natural, simple life in the far north. At the Sky High Wilderness Range, 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!
