| Musher's Note |
- Crystal days & Northern Light I is a tour for
you that like to have the comfort of a base camp a
couple of days. On this tour we make daytrips from
our village Umnäs and you spend all the nights
in a cosy and warm Swedish house that we warm up with
wood. Its 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 experience,
we don’t have words for that.

| Arrival |
- When you arrive in Lapland, Storuman or Hemavan
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 your days with the
dogs and how to mush the sled.

- 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 this 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.
