Three Days of Adventure, Connection, and Wilderness! This tour offers a unique opportunity to learn dog sledding from scratch while navigating breathtaking landscapes. But dog sledding is more than standing behind the sled – it’s about caring for the dogs, the true heroes of the journey. Actively participating in daily routines, from grooming to feeding, provides a deeper understanding and a deeply rewarding experience.
At the end of the day, a cozy cabin in the mountains awaits, where you can relax, enjoy the tranquility, and reflect on the day’s adventures. This experience combines learning, mastery, and immersion in nature – perfect for everyone, regardless of experience.
Please note: Overnight stay in tents may be necessary depending on weather or snow conditions. Routes may also be subject to change.
DAY 1:
Our adventure begins at the kennel, where we meet the huskies that are part of Team Lewis Fjellpoter. The day is dedicated to intensive dog sledding training, capped off with a full-day sledding trip through stunning landscapes. You’ll receive an introduction to the fundamentals of dog sledding, learn about sleds, equipment, and dog care, and gain first-hand experience in handling your own sled team. You’ll also be trained in caring for and feeding the dogs, which we’ll practice when we stay overnight in the mountains. We end the day with a delicious meal around the fire in a traditional lavvu tent.
This is designed for those who want a gentler start before embarking on the full two-day mountain expedition to follow. You’ll then head to a cabin with the opertunity to use a sauna. Please ensure that you clear out and pack all your belongings before returning to the kennel the following day.
For those who prefer a more authentic wilderness experience, you can opt to spend the first night sleeping in the lavvu at the kennel instead of the cabin. Choosing this option offers a reduction in the overall price.
DAY 2:
We begin the morning at the kennel, where you’ll receive a thorough introduction and training for the adventure ahead. Once all gear is packed and ready, you’ll prepare for a true wilderness experience – without electricity, Wi-Fi, or modern conveniences.
We start off in forested terrain with easy conditions, giving you the chance to familiarize yourself with steering and building trust with the dogs. We’ll pass through parts of Langsua National Park, depending on the season and when we set off on the dog sledding journey. By the time we reach the cabin, it may be dusk or dark. Weather conditions will decide whether we stay in a mountain cabin or one down in the valley.
Regardless of the cabin’s location, our first priority is taking care of the dog heroes, ensuring they’re comfortable before we settle in ourselves. Once the dogs are tended to, you’ll enjoy a hearty meal, recharge, and prepare for another incredible day in the mountains.
DAY 3:
After a forfilling breakfast for both the dogs and ourselves, we’ll pack up and begin the journey home, crossing the stunning Synnfjell mountain range.
Back at the kennel, we’ll once again take care of our hard-working dogs. After everything is tidied up and put away, you can either head straight home or take a moment to chat about the adventure over a warm meal by the fire in our lavvu tent.
If you have a long drive ahead, we recommend renting a mountain cabin, as the meeting time could be as early as 9:30 AM. We can help arrange cabin rental for an additional cost, or we can provide recommendations if you’d prefer to handle the booking yourself.
This experience is exclusively for two people!
