This is for the tough individuals who want a glimpse and to experience the feeling of being a competitive dog musher, a rugged musher!


This tour can be done by a maximum of two adults. You can handle your own sled the entire time if you wish.


We stick together throughout. We take breaks along the way. The dogs get snacks, and we enjoy homemade food, biscuits, and hot drinks. When we return to the kennel, we take care of the dogs and ensure they are comfortable before calling it a day. Hot drinks and uneaten homemade biscuits from the trip will be served if you desire a short break before getting into the car. This is a long and demanding day behind the sled, with many hills, and the weather conditions play a significant role in how long it will take. This can last up to 8-10 hours. It will be a trip around the entire Synnfjellet. With Synnfjellporten as a possible overnight stay, it's an excellent combination.
We have hammocks and reindeer skins to lend if you want to spend the night at the kennel.

TIPS FOR DRESSING!

As we say here in Norway; "There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes."

Here are some tips and recommendations on winter clothing to keep you warm on our trips:

1. Inner layer: should be something that breathes, I recommend wool. Do not use cotton!

2. Thicker layers: I recommend wool, but you can also use fleece.

3. Last layer: windproof jacket and trousers, sometimes waterproof too, in mild conditions, but remember that it must be breathable material. Recommend a good hood where it goes in front of the face. Then you get the best protection for your face

4. A thicker jacket is fine to bring, which you can adjust by taking the jacket off and on. Here I use a down jacket, but a padded winter jacket or parka is also fine. This is especially good for the long trips, peak trips, Snaufjellet, overnight trips. A good hood that goes in front of the face is also something to think about as hoods (especially with fur trim) stop the wind from cooling the face. (I have a couple of parkas I can lend!)

5. Wool socks, maybe even two, if the shoes allow it. If it is too tight, it will have the opposite effect. It is important to be able to move your legs, otherwise they will get cold.

6. Good winter boots that are tight and not too tight!

7. Good warm and windproof hat and mittens. Do not wear gloves! I recommend having thin woolen gloves to use inside the mittens or keep it in your pockets, for use when handling the dogs.

8. Wool collar/collar to cover the skin from the weather and wind.

9. Snow goggles, not a must, but I recommend if it's very windy and snowy at the same time.
