Immerse yourself in the deep bond between humans and animals as you explore the pristine wilderness and the magical winter lights this far north. You’ll learn the art of dog sledding and how to handle sled dogs.

You will sleep in a gamme tent, heated and on a field bed, in the arctic wilderness, or by the dogs in the dog yard. We provide all the necessary training to ensure you’re fully prepared for this unforgettable adventure.

Day 1: Arrive at Lakselv Airport and transfer to our family-run kennel, where we will welcome you into our family with our dogs.

Our main goal is to head north, where you'll be treated to breathtaking views and an authentic Arctic experience. We will have all meals out in the wild, prepped in a traditional manner, as the locals enjoy on their mountain adventures. After two and a half days on the trail, we'll return to the kennel in the afternoon to unpack and enjoy one final dinner together. Last night is in a nearby facility.
