Spend the nights in a canvas tent and wooden huts. Fetch water from a hole in the ice and feel the warmth from the glowing fire in the wooden stove.
See tracks from the wild animals and experience the true wilderness way of living in close contact with our loving sled dogs. Day 1-4 Four days of dog sledding and three nights in the wild
We will pick you up in Jokkmokk and drive you to our kennel, located just outside Jokkmokk. Here those who need get dressed in warm thermo parkas and pants and boots. You will learn how to handle a dog sled, how to communicate with the huskies and learn about safety in cold climate etc. We harness the sled dogs and pack the sleds and get ready for start. You will drive your own team with 4 Siberian huskies.
Every day we stop and prepare our lunch over open fire out in the nature. By the huts and tent camps everyone help out with taking care of and feeding the dogs, cooking and fetch water from the lake/ river etc.
There is no guarantee for the northern lights but hopefully we will see this fantastic light phenomena dancing over the sky during the nights.
On day four we head back to Jokkmokk and will arrive to the kennel in the afternoon full of new experiences. We give the dogs some snack and take off the harnesses. After saying goodbye to your new friends we drive you back to Jokkmokk.
Tour conditions: All activities are mostly moderate. In wilderness cabin we sleep on bunk beds in mixed room with both gentlemen’s and women’s. The wilderness cabins are heated with wood/gas and have no electricity or running water. In tent we have a wood stove and sleep on reindeer skins in warm sleeping bags in the same tent. Dry toilets are available at the cabins but at the tent camp we dig holes in the snow.
No former dog sled experience is required but you must like animals and feel compassion for them.
How physically demanding it will be depends very much on the snow and weather conditions during the tour. But, to go dogsledding requires that you have good balance and are reasonable fit. In up-hills and heavy snow conditions you must help your dogs by kicking beside the sled and sometimes also run and push the sled in steep up-hills.
You also need to have in mind that you will be physically active outside in the cold for many hours each day. Our tours are not made up touristic adventures but real experiences where everybody work as a team and helps with everything from taking care of the dogs, cooking, loading the sleds, fetching water etc.
Important Information: Weather in Lapland is extremely variable. We reserve the right to change the order of activities and/or routes taken to best fit with the weather conditions during your tour, and to keep tour participants and animals safe.
Additional Information:
The safety of our guests and animals is our top priority on all of our tours. The far north can have fluctuating and unpredictable weather with very strong temperature differences. Whilst we strive to follow the planned trails as closely as possible, we reserve the right to change the order of activities, the route of safaris, and the intensity of the excursions should the needs of our guests or animals necessitate it, or if the weather conditions compromise our pre-planned route. 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).
