Highlights of this tour.
Own dog sled
Remote adventure
Staying in Lodges and cabins
Covering between 25-60km per day
Snowy and icy
An odyssey of ice; the teamwork between human and dog is of key importance. Participants will need to go right back to basics. The nature of the event means that it is run with a relatively small number of participants (13 maximum). Each participant will have his/her own sled, pulled by 4-6 huskies. An ATD expedition leader, supported by an experienced expedition doctor and a local guide, will head up the expedition.
Example of the itinerary.
Day 1- Fly to Alta via Oslo, then a briefing from the expedition leader.
Day 2 - We will be shown how to work the sleds and introduced to the dogs. Once everyone has got the basics, we will be on our way through the forest to our next lodge.
Day 3 - We will start the day by feeding the dogs before heading off to Maze.
Day 4 - Today the terrain is slightly mountainous as we sled to Mollisjock, so there will be lots of up and downhill sections.
Day 5 - Following the Jiesjokka River we will make our way to Jotka and Jiesjavri Lake. Sledding on the frozen lake gives a real sense of being in the middle of nowhere.
Day 6 - Our last day is downhill all the way as we head to Gargia, where a hot tub and sauna await us!
Day 7 - Back to London.
Open events are charity challenge events which allow you to choose your own charity to raise funds for. They are ideal if you want to raise funds for a smaller charity who are not able to put on their own exclusive event.
