     Axehandle Mountain - the winter experience..

     Dog Sledding in Ostersund (Sweden) with axehandle mountain adventure
 
We can make your winter dreams come true, experience the real wilderness on the most demanding tour we offer, traveling through the wide open landscapes into forests and up onto the mountains.

All this on your own dogsled with all your equipment, pulled by 5 to 6 eager REAL Siberian huskies (not cross breed hounds!).

You will be guided by fully qualified survival instructors who will help you with your camp etc and give you advice on staying warm as temperatures drop to -40.

For 5 days you probably will not see another person, you will experience total silence and have the chance to see Swedish wildlife.

Please ask us about our rental clothing

ATTENTION basic level of fitness is required, temperatures can be as low as –40 Celsius, this is not soft tourism it is the real thing!
If someone has to be taken back to base there is no extra cost BUT there are no other activities for them, food will be provided though.
