This weekend expedition offers two full days of dog sledding in Finnmark for those who want to experience everyday life with a sled dog team. Rather than focusing only on covering distance, the journey also includes time to care for the dogs, understand how they work as a team, and take part in the routines that are part of a multi-day expedition. It is an opportunity to experience dog sledding through participation, responsibility, and time spent in the Arctic landscape.
Day 1: Arrival and meet the dogs
After picking you up at the airport, we will drive to your accommodation. Later, you will meet the huskies, have an introduction to dog sledding, and head out on a short sledding tour. The day ends with an overnight stay and dinner at the lodge in Børselv.
Day 2: Full day dog sledding
Spend a full day on the sled, travelling through forest, open plateaus, and coastal terrain depending on snow and weather conditions. Along the route, we stop for an outdoor lunch. Upon arrival at camp, you will first take care of your dog team before relaxing in the tent.
The day ends with an overnight stay in a traditional gamme tent, where the group shares the evening meal and prepares for the following day’s journey.
Day 3: Dog sledding and return to the kennel
After breakfast and morning dog care, we continue by sled on routes chosen according to current conditions. Guests take part in harnessing the dogs, preparing the sleds, and looking after the teams before departure. The expedition returns to the kennel in the afternoon, where the dogs are fed and settled after the journey.
Day 4: Goodbye and departure
Before the transfer to the airport, we make a final stop at the kennel to spend some time with the dogs, take photographs, and say goodbye to the teams that travelled with us during the expedition. Afterward, we continue to the airport for your departure.
