Day 3: With snowshoes through the wilderness
Today, you will learn everything you need to know about surviving in the wilderness on a snowshoe tour through snowy forests. In the footsteps of the Norwegian explorers, you will make your way through the snow and learn, for example, how to light a fire with a magnesium stone. Along with more information about flora and fauna, look out for animal footprints and try to guess what species they might belong to. With a bit of luck, you will even meet a willow grouse or an Arctic hare on your tour. Back at the hotel, you can refresh yourself with a dinner and reflect your new experiences.

Day 4: A ride with the dog sled
After a delicious breakfast, you will go to a husky farm, which pays particular attention to animal welfare. The huskies, housed two at a time in pens where they are not chained up, will eagerly await you. Before you can finally get started, you will get an introduction to leading a dog team. Then you will get on the runners of your sled (2 persons per sled) and set off on a journey through the impressive nature of Northern Norway. The driver can be changed halfway through the tour. Back at the husky farm, you will regain your strength with a hot drink. Round off the successful day with a dinner at Malangen Resort.
