Wilderness camp

The trek to the wilderness camp takes us through beautiful and peaceful pine forests surrounded by high mountains.

The wilderness camp has an idyllic location beside a small lake, which has always had excellent fish stocks. We will light the open fire inside our lavvu (Sami herdsmen’s tent). This is the ideal place to warm up and enjoy a delicious lunch. The predominant fish species is Arctic char, but catching these big, nice fish is not always an easy task!

If we are lucky, we will eat fresh, self-caught Arctic char for lunch. If the fish are not biting, we will grill the delicacies we have brought on the fire.

The area has a rich animal life, such are hares, foxes and moose, as well as bird such as eagles and the rough-legged buzzard.

The total snowshoeing trek is about 2.5 km, including stopping off at a wonderful viewpoint. Bring your camera, as there are many photo opportunities!

We will be joined by a husky

This trek is not very demanding and most people manage to reach the wilderness camp in under 30 minutes.

We need some equipment and are accompanied by one of our huskies.  They pull it by pulk/sled or carry it in a pack. Huskies are social creatures that love to  help their best friends!
