Day 1: Engholm Husky Lodge Fly to Lakselv via Oslo and Tromsø and take the bus to Karasjok, where you’ll be met and transferred to Engholm Husky Lodge. Lodge facilities include a wood-heated sauna, an outdoor hot tub and a turf-covered log house where guests gather around the fire on reindeer furs. In the evening you can join a snowshoe trek in search of the Northern Lights, or simply relax at the lodge after dinner.
Day 2: Husky safari Take a husky safari, where you get to drive your own team of huskies through the Arctic wilderness. Keep an eye out for moose, and enjoy lunch round an open fire.
Day 3: Sami Travel by snowmobile to a Sami settlement of reindeer herders, who make their living on these cold winter pastures. Spending the day with them gives a wonderful insight into Sami culture.
Day 4: Karasjok Transfer to the bus station at Karasjok to begin your journey home via Lakselv, Tromsø and Oslo. dnatatravel.com
