Traveller Requirements:
This sled dog trip is an active holiday and requires not only a good level of fitness but also teamwork. During the wilderness overnight stay, activities such as collecting water, chopping wood, cooking, and caring for the dogs are organised and carried out together as a team. Fear of contact with dogs is rather hindering. If you enjoy the simple life, without luxury and with simple standards, this program is just right for you. Activities such as heating the sauna and your own hut are part of the daily routine. The daily schedule can vary in its order.
