Day
3 - 9:
With your "own" team of 6 dogs, we set the compass north- west and
reach the mountain plateau with the dog teams already the same day - A
fascinating landscape, scanty and windswept.
Overnight
in tent. The route will be adapted to the
given conditions. This is the real way to go dog sledding.
The view is endless at all directions and we
break our own
trail further north-north-west to the valley
"Stabbursdalen". By now mushers and the huskies have usually got to know each
other’s ways and the safari can cover a lot of ground. We
pass the upper end of the "Stabbursdalen National
Park".
We go far off the beaten track, break our own
trail further north-east using the freedom that sled dogs give.
Some great
ice fishing can be done in the numerous
lakes.
We head north and
for the first time
On day
8 or 9 (depending
of weather and sledding condition),
we can see the Arctic Ocean and look down at the fjords.
We reach our cosy
house "Stenbukt"
located in a remote bay right on the
sea - no road, - no neighbors.
At Stenbukt,
smaller
tours
can be ventured upon alone if desired: Snow
shoeing
or walking.
Great ice
fishing in the lakes nearby.
Maybe you just like to relax in front of the fire place.
Day
10:
Sled dog trip to the road. Transfer
by car back to Engholm Husky Lodge Karasjok. Dinner gathered in the
warm atmosphere is waiting for us. We have a cosy wood heated sauna and outdoor hot tub ready on
request for those temted! Maybe with northern lights above.
Day
11: The program end at breakfast.
It's worth considering whether to stay some extra days for interesting activities as
lodge guest
before
and/or after the tour.
