Sled dog tours in Sweden - 4 days 790€

Tour description Sled dog tour 4 days:

• On the day of arrival, the participants are made familiar with the dogs and the material and there is a cozy welcome dinner by the open fire. You can then decide whether you want to spend the night in the rustic hut in beds directly by the fire or in the Swedish log cabin, which exudes a special atmosphere through the wood-burning stove and candlelight.
• In the morning we go into the wilderness with the sled dog teams and spend the night in a wilderness hut, far away from any civilization. Everyone drives their own team of 3-4 large, powerful Alaskan Malamutes and Greenland dogs. These dogs are much larger and more powerful than the newfangled sled dogs that are mostly used for tourist touring today. You have a special charisma with a lot of personality and philanthropy. The route and the accommodation can be agreed in the group and adapted accordingly to the wishes of the guests. The camp of the wilderness lodge is about 500 meters above sea level. It is possible to reach the treeless Fjäll region at an altitude of over 1000 meters in a day's hike and enjoy a unique view of the Swedish and Norwegian mountains. On the other hand, we can go on a journey through the wild mountain valleys and look for traces of elks and wolves. There are several wilderness huts that can be approached. When deciding on the course of the tour, we naturally have to take the weather into account.
• On the third day we stroll through the tranquility of the Scandinavian winter landscape with our carriages and arrive at the camp in the evening, where we end the experience around the campfire with typical Swedish food. You can also warm yourself up in the rustic wood-heated wilderness sauna.
• On the fourth day, after breakfast and saying goodbye to the dogs, it's time to leave.

Catering:
The composition of the catering is based on many years of experience and is suitable for expeditions. Petrol stoves replace the built-in kitchen. The musher knows the clear springs that are sometimes hidden under the blanket of snow. Drawing water is part of the daily work. Salmon, elk and reindeer are also on the menu.

Weather:
The area is considered one of the snowiest regions in Europe. Winter comes early and says goodbye late. The clear air is very dry, so that it is less cold than in our latitudes. Most of the time it is sunny and the sky is a bright blue shade. Almost 98% of our guests said the temperatures were pleasant. 85% of those guests who were in Sweden for the first time found the winter warmer than originally expected. Very good snow conditions and a wonderful starry sky compensate for cold nights.
