Northern Light Dog Sledding Panorama Tour - Into the Wild

Beskrivelse

If you’d like to sit with your friends or family on a sled pulled by 8–12 huskies and slide through the Arctic winter landscape for about 14 kilometers, enjoy nature, marvel at the beauty of the famous Arctic night, and make friends with the friendly dogs, then this tour is for you.

We’ll travel at a comfortable pace through wooded terrain along a river—with views of the snow-covered forest, where moonlight or sparkling snowflakes glisten in the light of our headlamps—or cross a frozen lake about 5 km long. Experience the tranquility of a northern afternoon, free from the noise and lights of civilization: just you, the dogs, and nature. Our sled is pulled by a team of 8–12 huskies; each sled can carry up to four people. We’ll take a break halfway through the trip: time to pet the dogs and take photos. At the end of the tour, the dogs get a snack and plenty of petting. When we return to the farm, we head to the traditional Lavu tent, where we warm up by the campfire with tea, coffee, or hot chocolate, and enjoy polar bread spread with melted cheese and butter.

Of course, we’ll provide you with the proper gear: warm overalls, Arctic boots, hats, and gloves are all included in the price.
