Pure enjoyment: a fireplace and warm tea

A base camp along the 50 kilometre long Altevatn is central in this tour. It will be the starting point for trips lasting one or more days, to the southern parts of Dividalen National Park and to the Norwegian-Swedish border area.

This base camp, is a modest cabin, that can be reached within one or two days dog sledding across Lake Altevatn – depending on the snow conditions. From here a number of more challenging tours can be arranged.

Other cabins can also be visited from here. The majestic mountains and the lower forests offer numerous alternatives. In addition, the lakes are great for ice fishing.

Visiting a lavo, the Sàmi people's traditional tent

Participants may handle their own sled and dog team. That way, everyone has the responsibility to harness the dogs, feed them etc.

Before the tour starts, we give an extensive introduction to dog sledding. Soon the most important lessons are learned, and your skill will improve steadily during the tour.

To handle the dogs and the sledge is a main issue on each tour. The tour guide will lead the first team, and will be available to assist you whenever necessary.

For this tour there are no specific requirements for the participants.
