ABOUT THIS REGION  DOGSLEDDING

Dogsledding expedition on the arctic tundra

Experience an authentic dogsledding expedition on one of these high arctic adventures. Tradition still plays an important part in everyday life in the high Arctic. No other activity perhaps is as traditional as travelling by dog team. Driven and guided by an Inuit hunter, clients will step back in time and experience what it must have been like to travel in this wild and remote Arctic land a hundred years ago. The solitude and silence will only be broken by the panting of the dogs as they excitedly pull at the harnesses, ever eager to make ground, travelling across the white expanse of frozen ocean.

Dogsledding expedition on the arctic tundra

Two clients per sled, along with guide, will be accompanied by an additional guide driving a snowmachine and pulling a gear komatik. The third guide will travel ahead each day to set up a comfortable base camp from which the next days adventure will start. The route will not be completely set, the idea of this remarkable trip is to travel at the pace set by the ice and snow conditions, in addition, it will never get dark. Surrounded by high mountains and glaciers, fresh water being gleaned from nearby icebergs, join a unique Arctic adventure and travel back in time.
