The Last Trapper's Expedition

The morning begins in the Northern way: feeding the dogs, preparing the equipment and getting ready for the first full day on the trail.

Before setting off, participants receive an introduction to the basics of mushing : how to drive a sled safely, use the brake, work as a team with the dogs, and care for them throughout the day. This first outing aims to familiarize them with driving a dog team and build confidence on the sled runners.

We then head towards a magnificent northern valley, surrounded by rugged mountains, frozen rivers, and endless wilderness. Traveling at the dogs' pace allows you to fully immerse yourself in the landscapes, the silence, and the raw beauty of the Yukon in winter.

At midday, we stop along the track to share a hot lunch around a fire while the dogs rest nearby. Far from the roads and the crowds, it's the perfect time to fully appreciate the tranquility of the North.

Before sunset, we return to base camp where the dogs are cared for and fed, before gathering around a hot meal for another night at base camp.

Today, the real expedition begins. After feeding and caring for the dogs in the morning, we load our sleds with all the necessary equipment for the journey ahead and leave base camp behind us.

As we venture deeper into the Yukon wilderness, we follow frozen rivers, forest trails, and wide valleys surrounded by mountains. Participants continue to hone their mushing skills while becoming familiar with the rhythm of life on the trail.

As evening fell, the camp was set up in the middle of nature and we spent our first night in a heated Prospector tent, under the northern sky.

The day begins with caring for the dogs, melting snow for water, tidying up the camp and preparing the dog teams before hitting the trail again.

As the kilometers pass, life becomes simpler, giving way to a regular rhythm: the dogs, the snow, the mountains, and the silence of the North. Along the way, we always take the time to stop for lunch around a fire and contemplate the immensity of the landscape that surrounds us.

Tonight, we are camping again in a heated Prospector tent, in the heart of the wilderness.

After the morning routine with the dogs and dismantling the camp, we continue to venture deeper into a remote region of the North, where old cabins still bear witness to the traditional way of life in the region.

The trail winds through pristine valleys and frozen rivers as the dogs confidently carry us deep into the backcountry. Participants continue to learn how to travel efficiently in winter conditions, strengthening their bond with their dog teams each day.

Tonight, we arrive at an isolated trapper's cabin, where we will spend the evening warming up around the wood stove while sharing anecdotes from the trail.

After several days on the trail, today is a well-deserved rest day for both the dogs and the team. Surrounded by spectacular glacial landscapes, we slow down to savor life in the North in a different way.

After feeding and caring for the dogs in the morning, we spend the day ice fishing on a frozen lake nestled in the mountains. Gathered around the fire with hot drinks and a hearty lunch, participants can soak in the silence, the vast landscapes, and that feeling of being at the ends of the earth that characterizes the Yukon wilderness.

The dogs enjoy a day off to rest and recharge their batteries, while the participants have plenty of time to fish on the lake, relax, explore the area around the cabin, take photos or simply enjoy the calm of the Far North.

We spend another cozy evening in the trapper's cabin, warming ourselves by the wood stove as night falls on the mountains.

Leaving the cabin behind us, we resume our journey into the heart of the vast wilderness of the North.

Each day begins in the same traditional way: tending to the dogs, packing up camp, and preparing for the trail ahead. The landscapes continue to change as we travel between frozen rivers, alpine valleys, and boreal forest. The participants now feel much more comfortable driving their sleds and working in perfect harmony with their teams.

Tonight, the camp is once again set up in a heated Prospector tent, in the heart of silence and wilderness.

After breakfast and tending to the dogs, we pack up camp one last time and begin our return to base camp.

The trail leads us once again through frozen rivers, wide valleys, and mountain landscapes that are now familiar to us after these days spent in the heart of the wilderness. At this point, the participants feel much more confident on the back of the sled and have truly adapted to the pace of expedition life in the North.

We stop along the way for lunch around a fire, taking the time to savor these last few kilometers with the dogs and to appreciate the silence and beauty that surround us.

At the end of the day, we return to base camp where the dogs are pampered and rewarded after the expedition. A hot meal and a comfortable night indoors provide a well-deserved moment to relax, reflect on the adventure, and share memories of the trail.

Participants can also enjoy the sauna.

For our last day of mushing , we leave base camp in the morning to explore one last spectacular valley, nestled in the heart of the Yukon wilderness.

Gliding along a magnificent frozen river by dogsled, surrounded by majestic mountains, this final trek offers the chance to fully bond with the dogs and soak in the scenery one last time. Now, participants confidently ride on the back of the sled and truly understand the rhythm and teamwork that make winter trips in the North so unique.

We stop along the way for lunch around a fire, enveloped by silence, wild nature and endless panoramas of glacier-covered peaks.

At the end of the day, we return to base camp for our last night together, where we take care of the dogs, share memories of the expedition and enjoy one last evening in the Far North.
