Weekend in northern Norway – The Finnmark plateau
Your own dog team for three days, we use Suolovopmi Mountain Lodge as headquarters. The food is not short traveled, but from the area you spend the weekend in. The days will be a historical and knowledge-rich journey, with stories about the landscape, the animals and life in the north.
Day 1
We pack and get ready with our dog team, the tour starts quietly on safe and good tracks. As we feel more confident about the sledge, the route is put off track in this beautiful wilderness that Finnmarksvidda has to offer. The sled trip up the Alta Canyon part of the day before we arrived at the mountain lodge at Suolovuopmi after about 30 ++ km. At the lodge, we take care of the dogs before heading into a well-deserved dinner and quiet evening.
- Accommodation in warm and cozy rooms.
- Lunch outdoors.
Day 2
First breakfast for dogs and people. We have become safe on the sled, and the day goes by in the characteristic wild landscape. Outside for large parts of the day, over frozen landscapes such as marshes, water and rivers. We return to Suolovuopmi Mountain Lodge for another evening in familiar surroundings and to another delicious and Sami three course dinner.
- Lunch outdoors.
Day 3
First breakfast for dogs and people. The last day goes north and towards our kennel near Alta. The dogs you have taken care of now and become good friends with, now the dogs run like never before. You have become a musher in the winter landscape in the north. We drove all day over Beaskdes, following parts of the day the historic and important year of travel between northern Finland – the coast of Finnmark. The tour ends in the kennel, by the fire and with their new dog friend next to us. Delicious food from our local chef is eaten before we have to say goodbye to each other.
