Frequently Asked Questions

No, we do not provide clothing on the Running with the Pack tour. Please make sure to dress according to the weather conditions.

In autumn time the temperatures can vary quite a lot. On some days it can already be quite chilly, while other days might be relatively warm. So our recommendation is: dress according to the weather!

 

Some general tips on staying warm are:

  • Wear wool or artificial fibers on the skin, no cotton! Be especially careful of cotton socks as they will be cold, wet and spoil your experience
  • Layer up, but not too tightly
  • Wear tight thermals and on top of that wool or fleece clothes
  • Thin finger gloves and wool socks are a worthwhile investment for any trip to Lapland, but remember no cotton
  • A hat, mittens and scarf if needed

 

And also remember, it can be muddy, so wear only clothes that can get dirty!

Yes, absolutely! The Running with the Pack tour is one of our family friendly tours, which is also suitable for very small children.

Yes, indeed, we provide transfers and they are already included in the price of the tour. We do not recommend that you drive to our kennel yourself as our kennel is remote and sometimes challenging to reach. We do not offer any price reductions if you were to come with your own car.
