After two month absence the sun is coming back at the end of January to the snowy landscapes of the North.

This spectacle of nature is accompanied by extraordinary light conditions created by the low-lying sun. Colours suffuse the heaven from deep blue to pale yellow. The first sun turns the mountains tips pink-golden crowns.

At night time you can still see the polar lights in the sky. Those who seek the challenge can try to capture this spectacle in their photographs.

By special request Jonny Gunnberg is offering almost two weeks on a dog sled tour leading through Dividal national park.

Dates: 23rd of January – 4th of February 2006.

From 15th of April – 22nd of April 2006 we are offering a special tour for families with children.

The tour:
1. day: arrival/transfer
2. day: introduction, first try on a sled, packing of the sleds
3. 4. 5. 6. 7. day: on tour with the dogs
7. day: back to Huskyfarm;
8. day: departure/transfer.

This tour is extra arranged for children. This means that the daily distances we are sledding
leave time for other activities such as snow shoe trips, building of snow caves, ice fishing etc.

The children should be at least 11 years old. They should have fun being with animals. They should also have some experience in being outdoors. A sleeping bag should be familiar. If the children wish they can handle their own sled and dog team, maybe together with another child. Or they can share a sled with one of the parents. We can try and decide that on the introduction day on the Huskyfarm.

Prices per Person: grown-ups 1,700.- €, kid with own sled 595.- €, kid without sled 420.- €.

The price includes the same services as our other tours and some extras for the children.
We have the possibility to take one more family with 3 children maximum.

We recommend an early arrival on the 15th of April in order to get used to the climate.
Family price per night in the guest house: € 64.- (no food).

As if somebody had switched to another channel: After a rainy fall suddenly it was winter!
Already early in December made thick layers of ice even on the great lakes, a perfect cover of snow over the landscape, temperatures constantly below zero long trips into the mountains and the unspoiled nature possible.

It was a perfect winter: no periods of bad weather disturbed our tours. Even the long and not always easy-going tour to Kebnekaise (the highest mountain of Sweden) was nothing but a
pleasure for eyes and soul this winter.

Unusually many and big reindeer herds were during the whole winter in the mountains close to Lake Altevatn. So an extraordinary moment happened in the beginning of February: an enormous reindeer herd moved silently in the first light of the sun over the ice of Lake Altevatn.

Even now during the first days of May are the snow conditions in the mountains still tempting.
So we will go on another little sled tour tomorrow.

But then we will look forward to the summer!
