Days 3-6

Oteren/Signaldalen/Gappohytta/Rosthaytta/Daertahytta

A caravan of dogs, sleds and gear follow you toward Norway's border with Finland. Start your challenging expedition in Signaldalen. Over the next five days, the route takes you through the most remote region in all of Scandinavia. During the day, the dog teams run for hours at a fast pace as you steer past forests cut by frozen rivers, glacier lakes and snow-covered rocky peaks. At night, you are in one of the best places on earth to see the Northern Lights, when waves of luminous green cover the night sky. Your cabins on the trail are rustic but comfortable. Sit in front of the pot-bellied stove or fireplace to eat breakfasts and dinners prepared by a chef who uses local ingredients; lunches are eaten on the trail.

Day 7

Daertahytta/Oteren/Tromso

The route through the wilderness takes you across the border into Sweden. There are no checkpoints, only snow-covered trails through endless spruce, pine and birch forests. This afternoon, the dogs enjoy the downward slope as you make your way out of the mountains.

Tonight celebrate a successful expedition and says your farewells over dinner.
