Return to the lodge for a well-earned lunch, followed by a one-hour spa session featuring a sauna and private outdoor jacuzzi.

Day 3

After breakfast, set off on a challenging guided snowshoe adventure through the Alta Valley to a dramatic frozen waterfall. Pause to warm up by a cosy bonfire with a hot drink and lunch before returning to the lodge to check out. You’ll then be transferred a short distance to Holmen Husky Lodge, a unique Arctic retreat and home to a pack of friendly Alaskan Huskies. This evening, enjoy a two-course dinner at The Barn, overlooking the kennels and surrounding mountains, before settling into your cosy A-frame cabin for the night. With luck, you may even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights from your bed.

Option to swap the frozen waterfall hike to a less challenging, 2-hour snowshoe hike with a bonfire, though this does not incude the waterfall. Please let your Journey Designer know if you would prefer this option.

Pause mid-journey for lunch in the open air or at a traditional mountain hut. Back at the lodge, warm up with a relaxing sauna and jacuzzi session before enjoying a delicious two-course dinner featuring locally sourced ingredients.
