More information about this holiday
Your cabin is located on the edge of the forest, close to a frozen lake and right next to our husky farm. You will be the only guests staying here, and there are no other cabins ā truly a private winter holiday!
On arrival day, as well as on the last night we will cook your dinner over a fire in our traditional ākĆ„taā log hut. We will also cook a meal together on our overnight tour with the huskies. On 3 nights, we will give you the ingredients and recipe to cook your own dinner in the kitchen of your cabin. This is all typical local food, and the recipes are fool proof. We do have some tasty vegetarian options as well!
We will provide you with breakfast and lunch. During the dog sledding tours, we will make a simple lunch over a fire. On the other days, lunches consist of sandwiches and a thermos, that you can take along if you are out snowshoeing – or you can just eat lunch at home in the cabin.
You will drive your own (shared) sled on 3 days. During the first day tour, there might be other guests joining for that day (max 6 guests on the tour). During the two-day overnight tour, you will be on your own with the guide. You will sleep in a cosy wilderness cabin that night.
The three days of dogsledding are guided, the other two days you will go out by yourself.
You can go snowshoeing through the forest over prepared and marked trails of 5, 8 and 10 km, starting right from your doorstep. We provide you with snowshoes.
The wood stove heated sauna is right next to your cabin, and you will have it all to yourself on 3 nights! We will provide you with exclusive Care of Gerd shampoo and soap, locally made with natural ingredients and 100% plastic free.

About the cabin: Your log cabin has a basic, but comfortable standard. It is heated by a heat pump, which keeps the cabin at a constant comfortable temperature. There is electricity and we have 4G signal for internet, but the water comes from a water canister with a tap. There is no shower, but there is a washing room inside the cabin, and you can also use the sauna for washing on three nights. The toilet is outside but has a nice Styrofoam seat so you can sit comfortably warm even on cold days!
