Dog sleds have been invaluable way of transportation in the Nordic history. This transportation from has been used in multiple different purposes, from seal hunters to police-officers and postmen. To this day, mushing is a way of life for some people. At this autumn escapade you get to experience being pulled by real Siberian Huskies on a summer carriage! While we don't have enough snow on the ground, our guide will be driving the summer carriage. When we get the snow, then you get to drive the sled! In that case our guide will give you driving instructions before going!
After the wonderful 5 km morning safari with the huskies, you get to enjoy a soup lunch at the wooden kota.
In the afternoon, we put on our helmets and hop on to the quad bikes. The quad bike safari takes us back to the forests and up to a fell, where you get to enjoy an amazing view far to the horizon. During both activities, you get to make stops in the magical Lappish surroundings and take pictures to save the memories forever!
Before the departure, our guide gives you guidance on driving, so no previous experience needed! Driving is quite easy to learn, however, it requires a valid driver's license from everyone hopping to the driver’s seat of a quad bike. Depending on the day, the order of these activities can change.
