| Musher's Note |
- Happy Cold Snow is a tour for you that like to try
dogsledding in an easier way. On this tour we make
daytrips from our village Umnäs and you spend
all the nights in a cosy and warm Swedish house that
you warm up with wood. There's also electricity, water
and shower in the house. In the evening you can take
a sauna and a bath in the snow…
- On the daytrips you will see beautiful areas in
our home mountains Gardmountain. December is a beautiful
month with a lot of Northern Light and the special
light a cold December day is something you have to
experience, we don’t have words for that.

| Arrival |
- When you arrive in Lapland, Storuman airport, you
will go by car the last 100 km to Umnäs. The
first thing we will do in Umnäs is to go and
say hello to the dogs. After that we will have dinner
at host home or something lighter like sandwich. We
also take a look on what gear and clothes you need
to borrow from us. We talk about the tour and how
to mush the sled and dogs.

| Mushing day 1-5 |
- We harness the dogs in the dog yard; pack the sledges
with lunch and the things you like to bring. Now we
will have a lecture time in “how to drive”
a team of dogs. After that it is time to pull the
anchor, stand on the brake and GO FOR IT!
- Out on these daytrips you will start to feel comfortable
on the sled and learn all the basic about dogs and
dogsledding. We mush around 40-50 km/day and you will
go through fairy tale forest, deep valleys, frozen
lakes and high mountain plateaus.

in the wilderness (if you like).
