Our Panoramatour on the way to Terbmesjärvi. Fighting in a close whiteout with some nasty winds. So far reall great progress under difficult conditions.

Dogs are getting ready for our first Panoramatour. The Panoramtour goes all the way up to Kilpisjärvi, from there over the swedish Highlands down to Abisko, around the Kebnekaise and ends in Nikkaluokta. Some 600+ kilometers in 10 days. ... Mehr sehenWeniger sehen

Dann schreib auch das in den meisten Hundecamps in Skandinavien die Hunde getötet werden wenn sie kein Geld mehr einbringen. Es ist sooo traurig, die Camps die ihre Hunde als Familienmitglieder behandeln sollte mehr darüber sprechen bzw schreiben. Das ist einer der Hauptgründe das ich seit über 20 Jahren bei euch meinen Urlaub verbringe. Liebe Grüße Ulrike und eine Streicheleinheit an Geronimo 😘

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 🙂 ... Mehr sehenWeniger sehen

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 😂

I have five years of experience as a tour guide. I am a patient person and have a lot of experience. I have experience with grooming dogs.

As an experienced tour guide with over five years of expertise, I have a proven track record of providing engaging and informative tours across a variety of tourist sites. My background includes delivering insightful historical and cultural information, ensuring an enriching experience for all visitors. Additionally, I bring specialized skills in snowmobile driving, adding excitement and adventure to winter tours. My commitment to safety, strong communication skills, and ability to handle emergencies make me a reliable and effective guide.

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. ... Mehr sehenWeniger sehen
