Day 1 ARRIVAL KIRUNA OR KITTILÄ (L, D)
After the flight to Kiruna or
Kittilä airport, you
will be picked up by your hosts Johan or Sara.
They will guide you along the road to Kangos, a
small village 150 km north of the Arctic Circle
set in the northern Torne river valley. Stop
along the way for lunch. After arrival to
Kangos you will meet the huskies and get a
chance to learn more about these remarkable
animals. We enjoy a homemade lunch by the fire
or in a cozy timber cabin. After eating it’s
time for a short introduction into the practical
side of “mushing”. When everyone feels ready we
will then prepare and pack the sledges and
harness your own team of 4-6 huskies and start
this amazing journey through the Arctic
countryside.(10-20km)
Overnight in wilderness
cabin.
Day 2 HUSKY MUSHING (B, L, D)
After
a good night sleep in a small wood cabin we
start the day with taking care of the dogs while
the guide is preparing breakfast. After feeding
the dogs, we enjoy our breakfast
and discuss the tour of the day. Harness
the huskies, who will become our trusted friends
and companions on our
unforgettable adventure. Experience the
tranquility and serenity of the snow covered
landscape; enjoy the silence of the
wintry fell surrounding us. The only sounds of
the pure wilderness are the breathing of the dogs and
the noise of their feet on the snow. We stop
after 2-3 hours and enjoy lunch out in the wild.
After a well deserved break, the dogs are eager
to run, and we continue mushing for 2-3 hours.
The day ends with a nice home cooked meal before settling down for the night in our
wilderness cabin. (40-60km)
Overnight in wilderness
cabin.
Day 3 HUSKY MUSHING (B, L, D)
By
now you will feel more
familiar with the dogs and sled and can relax to
truly enjoy pristine nature. We glide along frozen rivers,
through deep forests and on shimmering white mires. Stop to warm up
with a nice soup, made over the fire. The last
part of the trail is in a winter feeding area
for reindeer. The dogs are used to the animals, and
many times we pass just a few meters from the
reindeer herds. In the midst of this area
we reach the wilderness cabins were we are going
to spend the night.
(40-60km)
Overnight in wilderness
cabin.
Day 4 HUSKY MUSHING (B, L)
After taking care of the
dogs and eating breakfast we start our journey
back to Kangos. After about one hour we reach
the Husky camp. After saying a last goodbye to
your team of dogs, we travel by car to the
Kiruna or Lulea airport. On the way we stop for
lunch. Your adventure of a lifetime with man's
best friends has come to an end. (10-20km)
