Monday
Days start with breakfast about half past eight
- if that is a time agreeable with you?
We do not run a rigid program – flexibility and activity
- is a key phrase in the family week.
We equip you with mushing boots and a warm outfit.
We go to the dog yard together, get to know the dogs.
Learning about behavior and body language of the dogs.
We go through the practical aspects related to sleds, lines,
harnesses and other equipment.
Practicing dog sledding without dogs.
We set out on our first mushing tour after lunch.
We make it a 10 km (kilometers) ride with children as passengers.
Adults can drive their own 4-dog teams.
You learn to harness your team, set them up in front of the sled
and after the tour it is time to take the dogs back to their respective kennels.
The rest of the afternoon is spent playing in the snow
making snowmen and dig out caves.
Maybe you want to have a go at cross-country skiing
and/or snowshoeing?

Tuesday
We start the day with tobogganing after breakfast.
Our local ski lift, 800 m away, has some lovely slopes for gliding
on flying sources, plastic sleds, toboggans and snow racers.
We have a barbecue lunch at the hill.
Energy left? We can do some ice sculpting.
Or just relax in the Sauna, which is at your disposal at any time?
Just make sure you light a fire, and keep it going until comfortable
temperature is reached.
The skiing-equipment and the snowshoes are at your free disposal.
You can even go out skiing at night with a headlamp on.

Wednesday.
Breakfast. Our own little husky expedition where we
take all we need with us for a day trip with dogs and sleighs.
We take a break half way-make a fire, grill some sausages,
and have a good time.
If the group and conditions allow it, the tour will be around 50 km .
Return home early afternoon. Maybe we see the Northern lights
on our return journey.
Kids help us feeding the dogs after the tour.
There are no restrictions about visiting of the dog-yard,
but we appreciate if adults accompany children when they wander around
amongst the dogs.
The dogs certainly appreciate people visiting them.
Entertainment time: Sometimes we see family films like Balto or films from dog races
such as from the Iditarod, Finnmarkslopet or from expeditions,
which gives an impression from the world of Mushing.

We have a local fishing guide helping us making holes in the ice,

for a very special evening meal.

Tobogganing has proved to be very popular
amongst the younger ones (under 75).
We make a last fun-trip to the hills on skis or snowshoes.
