If you think, that driving a dogteam is simply standing on the runners you might be wrong. The temperatures turned from below minus 30 to plus 4. So we got a lot of overflow - water on the ice - on the lakes and partly it was really sweaty to get through. So better be fit when coming on tour 🙂 ... See MoreSee Less

Oh yes, the overflow is a nightmare !!! We had a terrible experience in 2011 just in front of the lodge... That was the good news: we were back "home" with a well deserved shower after this!

Many people are coming with the thinking, it is not so much work and are very surprised afterwards, also without the snow 😂

Meine Strecke, egal bei welchem Wetter...immer schön. Allen eine schöne Saison.

Another cold day ahead. Temperatures dropped to minus 35 - 40 (and it is much colder on svamps and lakes). There is a warning out for Lapland and partly public transport stopped. Cars might even stop during driving. ... See MoreSee Less

As this winter is a bit late guides are experiencing a bit of problems when out on the trail..... However with minus 25 these problems should be gone soon 🙂 Nobody likes to get wet feet at this temperatures. ... See MoreSee Less

Majava a nice female from Sibiria did not feel good and did not eat yesterday. So we had an emergency call for the vet and Joanne and Mercy went in the evening to the vet. She had developed a pyometra and had been operated late in the evening. By now she is feeling much better. Thanks to Joanne and Mercy ... See MoreSee Less

After a lot of sleddog- and guiding theory the dinner prepared by chef George is welcomed by everyone. In few days the crew will be complete as also the staff for the Huskyvillage will be complete. As usual we are a very international crew: Finland, Canada, Germany, Austria, France, Slovakia, Netherlands, Nepal, Switzerland, Philippines and Kenya - long way to Lapland 🙂 ... See MoreSee Less

When you are sleeping we are out to watch the Northern Lights dancing on the sky. Even after 34 years in Lapland still fascinating.

Good morning from Lapland.

Still warm - yes, 3 degrees are warm for us - but temperatures are supposed to go in the negative numbers next week. The water in lakes and rivers is already cool so the freeze up should be good.

Homage for our old dogs. They have done so much work and given so much love and have a right to live a happy life. Between 20 to 30 % of the dogs in a kennel are normally retired - if you keep them and treat them well. So easy to know, how dogs are treated at their places. Treat them well and they will live a long life. ... See MoreSee Less

From top clockwise: Nansen, our superdog. Doing 5000 - 7000 km every year and just retired finally at 12 years old. Voice born 2013, just retired. Ussuri born 2013, just retired. Victory born 2008. One of our 4 "super old(ies)" Uando born 2013, just retired and brother of Ussuri, Ulvang, Uppea, Unari, Urengoi, Usko and Urson who also retired after last season as 11 years old.

We were so happy to see Emmi when we came in 2022... We knew her from our first trip to Äkäskero in 2011...
