Arctic Circle Dogsled Expedition

Our dogsled expedition starts from our base in Kaupinnen and takes a long loop into the remote lands to the north. The pretty village of Jukkasjarvi at the start is also home to the impressive Icehotel but it is the vast snowbound wilderness surrounding it that become the setting for this true dogsledding journey. This is the ultimate winter adventure, escaping to a region of pristine nature and by the end of the expedition we will have a wonderful sense of accomplishment. After a morning's instruction we head straight into our extended tour, with five days of challenging 'mushing' ahead of us. Crossing varied Arctic terrain of frozen lakes, forest and tundra, we travel from cabin to cabin, carrying our gear in our sleds. This region is the heartland of the tough Sami (or Lappish) people and their herds of roaming reindeer. The addition of a night under canvas also allows us to travel a more remote and challenging circular route. On return to Jukkasjarvi this trip is rounded off with a brief visit to the magical Icehotel.
