You can also try your hand at some of these Arctic Activities on our Northern Lights packages.

Experienced outdoor people can opt for more challenging programmes which include the following.

Specialist Tours:

• Ski tours by dog team (your gear is carried on the sled so you cross country ski in comfort).
  
  
• For a truly unique experience join a Sámi family for 8 days in April travelling, eating and sleeping like a Sámi reindeer herder. Transport is by snowmobile while you get involved on the day-to-day work as part of the annual reindeer migration to their summer feeding grounds.

• The most demanding 10 day tours include some sleeping under canvas and are designed for more experienced outdoor people. For example, "Expedition to the Arctic Sea", is special and quite demanding tour as you cross the mountain plateau by dogsled. The coastal weather is very changeable, from bright blue skies with the sun dazzling to horizontal snow blizzards with white all around. The tour starts from the comforts of the main base lodge and heads north, to a remote lodge at the Arctic sea. Daily stretches of 35-60 km are covered. Some nights en route will be spent in a tent.
