Forest Escape by Dogsled (Ripan)

Travel through the snow-entrenched wilderness, the only noise to break the northern still the sled runners gliding over the snow and the occasional breeze that tickles the treetops.

Meet the dogs at the base in Ripan Resort before your adventure starts, when you will be equipped with warm clothes that will keep you snug on the trails. As the dogs approach, their yips and barks will make it clear just how excited they are and you will have a chance to meet these, the most charismatic of northern residents. While getting comfortable on the sled, your team will be eager to get on the trail and husky dogs are happiest when working hard in the Arctic cold.

Along your journey, a short break to stretch your legs will be given on arrival at a traditional Sami teepee, a lavvu, where a snack and a hot drink will be served. Many guests report spotting wild animal tracks on the journey, and your guides will be able to identify many of them.

Minimum 2 participants. It may be possible to mush your own set of dogs on this trip, on request basis.
