Short break with huskies in the Yukon: The Itinerary
Day 1: First Adventure in the Snow
After a first meeting in the hotel lobby in your accommodation in Whitehorse, you will have some time for any last-minute purchases you want to make before your short break. When everyone is ready, you will be transferred to Sky High Wilderness Ranch, 20 km south of Whitehorse. There you will be greeted with a light lunch and get to know your travel group in a cosy atmosphere. Then, you will finally meet the excited huskies, who will be eagerly waiting for you. Following a safety briefing and an introduction to dog sledding, you will get on the sled and let your four-legged companions pull you into the vast wilderness. After your first husky tour, return to the ranch and take care of the dogs. Let this first day end in the sauna and with a delicious dinner.

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 Ranch, 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, and a washing facility serves as the camp shower. The price refers to the accommodation in a double room. At the end of your tour, you will spend the last night at a hotel in Whitehorse (shared double room). All meals are included, except for 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 and high-quality outdoor winter clothing are already included in the price. 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. Optional activities have very limited availability; we recommend booking them well in advance, often weeks or months before departure, as they may be fully booked by the time of travel.

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!
