HUSKY WEEK:
Pure experience: come with us into the fascinating world of sleddogs!
1.day:
Welcome to Lapland! Transfer from the airport in Arvidsjaur to Lapplands Drag huskyfarm.
Upon the arrival you are shown to your cosy accomodation. Check out the place, unpack and make yourselves at home. In the evening a welcome dinner with traditional Scandinavian food is waiting for you and we talk about the days ahead of us.
2.day:
We start the day with an informative pre-tour introduction and instruction into Dog Sledding with competent, friendly, bilingual instructors. Here you can be active from the time you arrive until the time you leave. You can help move the dogs in and out of the yard and harness and hook them into a team, feed and care for your dogs on the huskyfarm and on the trip and help with the necessary chores at the camp. Then we start off on our first sleddogtrip, the tour is about 22 km through the surrounding forests. After a delicious scandinavian dinner we are happy to round off the evening with a visit to the sauna.
3 - 6 day:
After a hearty breakfast, we feed the dogs and then prepare the dogteam for the respective daily tours. A guide will help you if you want.During the tours you will learn the basics of husky sled-driving and learn to know the character of "your" huskies. You are surrounded by the unique silence of Lapland, broken only by the breathing of the sleddogs and the sound of crackling snow beneath your feet. Depending on ability and desire of the participants, the daily tours will be between 25km and 40km long. Back at the farm you can enjoy the sauna or a campfire.
7 day:
Today is a rest day for our four-legged friends. Our guests decide if they wish to make a day of relaxation, if they want to explore the area on your own or with snowshoes or if they prefer ice fishing .If you choose ice fishing and any fish are caught (grayling, pike, char, perch), we can smoke or cook them over an open fire in the evening.
