Dogsled Adventure
4 days cabin and wilderness cabins - Dog Sledding Adventure Break
This exciting 4-day break takes us up to Finland's snowy north,
where we will cross frozen lakes and weave through coniferous forests
on sleds pulled by huskies. The best time of year to travel to this
region is in February, March and April when the snow conditions are
at their best and the days are getting longer. If you fancy doing
something completely different this weekend, then this is the trip
for you. No previous experience is required and our expert guides
will teach you all you need to know to mush, mush!
Huskies and Mushing
Our first night is spent in a comfortable
lodge a short distance from the airport. After settling in to our cosy
cabins and having dinner together, there will be time to have a few
drinks, relax and to even have a sauna if we want. The next morning
we will meet the dogs and learn about mushing. It should not take long
before the basics are mastered and we will be on our way. We work on
the basis of two people sharing a sled and a team of huskies. In our
experience this works very well as guiding the sled and dogs is quite
energetic and every hour or so it is good to swap over and just enjoy
the experience of racing over the crisp, white snow.
Wilderness Safari
We aim to cover about 30 to 40 kilometres
a day with our dog teams, although the exact routes and lengths will vary
according to the local conditions and mother nature. Gliding through the
stunning scenery, we should keep our eyes peeled for chance encounters
with elk or reindeer that may cross our path on their search for food.
We will spend 2 nights in wilderness log cabins, that are a warm and
welcome retreat after the exhilaration of the days sledding.
