DAY 3:

A wilderness breakfast starts your day off on the right track. The huskies will be eager to get going. So you’ll soon be harnessing up your team ready for another full day of husky sledding. You will now be growing in confidence as you tackle varied terrain and get to know the individual characters of the dogs. Throughout the trip, your guide will introduce you to the Arctic nature and wildlife looking out for animal tracks and crossing winter pasture for reindeer. You may also see moose wandering in the forests. Eventually you’ll arrive at the basecamp where you will spend the night.

DAY 4:

Today your husky sledding expedition returns on a different route through the stunning and silent wilderness back to Engholm Husky Lodge. By now, your dogs will be enjoying your leadership and you’ll have built up a great relationship with them. Your route follows some of the terrain of the world famous dog-sledding race, the Finnmarkslopet, so you will have had a true and authentic insight into life as a dog musher. Your dogs are not tourist dogs but dogs that are also used to racing long distances which creates a special kind of experience that only a privileged few get to do.

A home cooked evening meal awaits you at the lodge as well as a cosy wood heated sauna and outdoor hot tub – a perfect place to spend your final evening. If you are lucky you may see the dance of the Aurora in the night sky.

DAY 5:

Breakfast and departure. If you wish you can extend your stay at the lodge or continue to another destination in Northern Norway such as Alta, Tromso or Kirkenes. We can tailor your trip to suit your requirements.
