Our experienced guides will greet you and provide thorough training on dog sledding. Once you’re ready, you’ll have your own team of huskies. If there are two guests, you’ll take turns driving halfway along the route.
The huskies will lead you from the pine forest near the mountain lodge up to the stunning Finnmarksvidda plateau, with its vast open landscapes. Feel the synergy between our enthusiastic huskies and yourselves, and embrace the crisp Arctic winter with the Northern Lights dancing above in the sky.
