A fantastic visit. Thoroughly enjoyed the husky dog sledding, set in a beautiful landscape, plus being shown around the dog holding areas. The staff and mushers were very welcoming and helpful. All in our group had a great time. I would recommend this visit wholeheartedly.
Fantastic 3 day sledding tour with Huskies over the Finnsmark Plateau. We booked through Much Better Advetures in the U.K. and had the most fabulous experience. Every aspect was above expectations from the accommodation, the food, the transport and the adventure. Phil, Marco and team were exceptional! Knowledgeable, enthusiastic, insightful and great fun. Nothing was to much trouble and they looked after us brilliantly. On arrival we were taken to the lodge and given waffles and hot chocolate, then we were fitted out with our Arctic suits that were clean, very high quality and very comfortable….not to mention very warm! Hats, boots, gloves, even socks and google’s were provided so they have everything! 1st night we were introduced to the dogs and given instructions on how to control the sled and dogs. Very hands on with the huskies and sled set up, then off for a 6 ride around the local area tracking a frozen river and through the woods with a head touch as the light faded. Exhilarating stuff and excellent fun.Then checked in to our beautiful teepee with perspective side for watching the Northern Loghts that gave us a magnificent display throughout the evening. Dinner was a hearty, delicious stew and much conversation with the other 9 guests around a communal table. The chalets/ teepees were delightful with wood pellet burners, blankets and duvets that kept us amply warm.Next day we packed up sleds and dogs into a trailer and had a 20minute drive before setting the sleds up for a two day crossing of the Finnsmark Plateau. Great fun, spectacular scenery and brilliant guiding and information from Phil. We stayed overnight then sled fed back to the lodge the next day covering 60km in total.Another night in our cosy teepee and another breakfast and then we were on our way home.Just an EPIC trip, can’t recommend it enough and if you like adventure you really feel a bit Ranulph Finnes! Thank you to Phil, our host, who made it so special. BRILLIANT!
We loved the cosy room and the fire, the view was lovely, all the staff were super helpful and friendly and went out of there way to help us and to make sure we had an amazing time. We loved spending time with the dogs and the husky sledding they do was brilliant, we even had puppy cuddles afterwards. The tepees are very comfy and lovely to wake up to, we also spent a lot of time in the communal lounge area and the bath house with big windows, the toilet huts are heated so we didn’t mind leaving the tepee to use the toilets as they were only a few meters away. We used the big tepee to cook over the fire, we really enjoyed this, but Alta is not far of you prefer not to cook. Hot chocolate on tap and breakfast included. We loved it here!
