IMPORTANT NOTE ON OUR TOURS
Here in Lapland we are a hardy bunch, and our tours take place in all weathers – so be ready! It will be cold, windy, icy or snowy but that won’t stop us having an incredible experience together.
Our NEXT LEVEL ADVENTURE requires a prior participation in a multi-day husky safari, a high level of fitness and mental strenght. We cross varied terrain and you must be fit enough to help your team and push your sled on the uphills or in deep snow. If you are not sure if your fitness level is high enough, feel free to contact us and we will figure this out together!
Please be aware that we have an age limit of 65 years on that tour.
EXCLUSIVE FOR EXPERIENCED RETURNEES
NEXT LEVEL ADVENTURE
ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR NEXT trip with us?
Every season, we hear from our guests that they would like to come back again. For some, however, the expedition is a bit too big a step. That’s why we’ve taken your wishes and ideas and put together a new tour that builds on your experience and knowledge from the Husky Safari but is shorter then the Wilderness Expedition: THE NEXT LEVEL ADVENTURE!
WHAT'S NEW
With one more day on the tour, we can get even deeper into the Vindelfjällen Nature Reserve than last time and, as on our expeditions, are much more flexible in our choice of route. You will also get to know new cabins and travel even higher up into the mountains.
WHAT STAYS THE SAME
Just like last time, you will be travelling with your own sled and helping with the same tasks at the cabins (fetching water, looking after the dogs, chopping firewood etc.). Some of the guides from last season will be here again (we will do our best to place you with your favourite guide if possible) as well as a highly motivated dog team that is waiting to explore new trails together with you!
THE DATES
Personal touch
We believe in the personal touch. Our tours are all limited to a maximum of 4 guests all of whom are at a similar level of experience.
3 Wilderness Nights
We will spend three nights in wilderness cabins. Some of them are new, and one is familiar. Let’s see who recognises it.
New Trails, longeR route
On this tour, we would like to explore a new corner of the Vinelfjällen Nature Reserve with you, and we will also climb to an altitude of 1,000 metres!
The tour, day by day
This is an example itinerary for the tour; the route can be adjusted at short notice depending on weather and trail conditions.
Arrival day
Your guide will pick you up at the bus stop in Slussfors and take you to our fully equipped guesthouse, where you will be staying the first and the last night of the tour.
We will gear you up in warm overalls, boots and mittens, a sleeping bag with liner, headlamp and a waterproof duffle bag that you can put all your personal things in for the tour.
Then we’ll head over to the kennel, where we’ll test how much you remember from your last trip 😉 and, of course, refresh your basic knowledge of safe sledding, harnessing dogs and parking during breaks. And, of course, you’ll also say hello to the dogs. You’ll be excited to see which of your dogs you might find in the A-team again!
After dinner with your guide your are welcome to relax in the sauna or chill out in our cozy living room, and get ready for the adventure ahead!
The earliest arrival time is 14.00. We recommend to arrive between 14:00 and 15:00 to get the most out of the day.
After breakfast we finish packing our bags and head over to the kennel. We will prepare the sleds with all the equipment and food we need for the tour, then we will hook up our teams and head into the wilderness.
We’ll drive into the beautiful Kirjesålandet Nature Reserve, part of the larger 5500 square kilometre Vindelfjällens Reserve.
Each day everyone assists with setting up camp and other chores, especially looking after your own dog team- with help from your guide you will become more skilled day by day in careing for your team.
Today, we will also travel along a section of the route that was recently used by the best Northern European mushers in the Metsjövidda Fjällexpedition. So you can feel like a real pro here. We will travel across the long lakes of the Vindelfjällnature Reserve to the cabin Aivak, where we will spent the night.
Today we are heading for the mountains. Perhaps you remember your last climb with us? If so, get excited, because today we are going even higher and, as always, we will enjoy our lunch break with the most beautiful view in Lapland.
On the last day on the sled, we will once again pass through the forest areas and final ascents before reaching the kennel in the afternoon. Together, we will unpack the sleds and say goodbye to the dogs.
Back at the guest house, you can treat yourself to a hot shower and the luxury of our sauna. In the evening, there will be the famous farewell dinner, where we hope to discuss many new impressions.
Today it is time to say goodbye. After a hearty breakfast, we will take you back to the bus stop ‘Slussfors, Storuman’, from where you can comfortably travel home by bus.
We will take you and your luggage to your desired bus in good time.
Departure must be before 11.00. Please note that a return journey on the 5th day is not possible.
