Sledding from northern Norway, crossing the Swedish border, you will drive your own team of spirited huskies 250km across the frozen wilderness of the arctic.
Teamwork will be vital as you camp in temperatures as low as -20°C and experience 14 hour days. However, your hard work will be rewarded with a visit to the world famous Ice Hotel, and the chance to see the incredible Northern Lights.
