Raquettes à neige tour - débutant

Snowshoeing and Husky The aim of this exciting three-hour snowshoe trek is to have a close-up experience of the silent Arctic nature. Trek along the Alta River On our three-hour trip​,​ Snowshoeing and Husky​,​ we set off from our HQ in Øvre Alta. We explore the pine forest along the banks of the Alta River and are sure to experience the tracks of wild animals​,​ including the King of the Forest​,​ the moose​,​ and other animals such as hares and foxes. We will see how the landscape was formed by the ice that covered the entire region 10​,​000 years ago. Your guide will tell you about Alta generally and the Alta River particularly. We take a nice break during the snowshoeing trek to make an open fire. We brew tea​,​ coffee or hot chocolate and serve some snacks. Snowshoeing is a fun and easy activity and is a great way to explore the snow-covered Arctic landscape. No previous experience is necessary. Huskies We will be joined by one of our three Alaskan Huskies – Javri​,​ Phelps​,​ Atlas or Bruno. They will help pull or carry the gear as well as providing nice company.
