Accompanied by a team of magnificent HUSKY dogs

7 days / 6 nights from Sunday to Saturday


 Date: 26.03. – 01.04.2006 (for groups with min. 5 persons also on request)

Winter is a special season in Northern Lapland. Come and enjoy the fascinating beauty of the Lapp nature, the frozen Arctic landscape, the winter darkness, the crackling frost and magic of the Aurora Borealis, on our cross-country skiing trek in West Lapland. Our track goes close to the Pallas-Ounas National Park with it’s wonderful treeless fell landscape, which promises the ski-trekker an unforgettable experience. Daily distances are between 15 - 25 mi.; overnight in simple but cozy wilderness huts. Your luggage will be transported by the friendly and magnificent huskies.
Experience the myth of winter twilight, the fascinating play of colors, and the bright sunshine while driving a team of well-trained, strong and friendly huskies through a snow-covered landscape. During the Arctic night, with clear skies, you might be lucky to see the magic and colorful display of the Aurora Borealis - the fascinating Northern Lights! Enjoy the touch of adventure, pure air, untouched nature, and let the Magic of the Arctic Winter in the Fells of Lapland envelop you!
