Advanced Tour

The sledge dog programme for sportively active beginners or people who have already gained experience with sledge dogs. With this programme you will stay at our Sledge Dog Log Cabin in Äkäskero, accommodated in double and/or shared rooms with shared shower / toilet / sauna and lounge.
The day after your arrival you will already be on tour.  The distances will be  slightly longer than in the Wilderness Programme and can be up to 70 kilometers.  In bad weather this distance may take up to 9 hours to complete. Especially the longest stage cannot be shortened, and can therefore be very demanding.  Some stages are, in any case, more demanding than others.  The sledge carries a heavier load than on the Wilderness Tour, making it more difficult to steer and control.
The accommodation during the tour is, as on the Wilderness Trour, in our log cabins.  The last day will be spent in Äkäskero or you can participate in various activities (not included in the price).
