JOIN our happy dogs
This is a trapper´s home, and where our 100 Alaskan huskies live. You will see and learn how it was to be a trapper in the Arctic in the old days, join the huskies on an adventurous ride or relax by the fire a meal in the old trapper’s cabin.
Decades ago trappers came north with dreams of freedom and the big catch. Soon they would have to cope with the dangers and isolation of the arctic in the quest for their dreams.
We will serve a meal that will take you back to the trapper´s daily lives, and to times of celebration when they would prepare a real feast.
At the bonfire, we will tell stories about how the trappers made a living from winter hunting. It was for sure adventurous, fascinating and from time to time dangerous.
