Dogsledding for charity above the Arctic Circle is one of our most popular challenges for both charities, individuals and companies looking to engage with their employees in a novel and adventurous manner.
Spending a week caring and working with your dog team exploring the stunning beauty of Northern Norway, where with luck you will sleep under the Northern Lights, this really is an amazingly different charity adventure

It can be hard to keep yourself motivated when you’re training on your own, but Across the Divide has provided me with a helpful guide to preparing for the Arctic Circle, and while I’m working hard with my fundraising I also need to be working equally hard on improving my fitness. What better way to prepare than joining a running club?
Run Dem Crew was formed in east London in 2007 by a runner and writer called Charlie Dark — less than five years on the running club he started has more than 100 members, with some now forming spin-off groups in other parts of the capital.

Join us on the experience of a lifetime! Our dog sledding trip takes you through the Norwegian wilderness and deep into the Arctic Circle. You will have your own team of huskies to work with, as you travel across this region’s deep snow and frozen lakes. Accommodation will be in heated cabins, some with the option of a sauna in the evening.
2012 also looks set to be one of the best times to view the legendary Northern Lights. NASA has forecast that the Northern Lights will shine at their brightest levels for 50 years due to increased solar particle activity, and the far north of Norway is one of the best places in the world to see this amazing phenomenon.
Trip of a lifetime. Loved every moment. Tim, dog sledder Feb 2008.
Thanks for the most amazing week here in Norway. The trip surpassed all expectations. Excellent company, great food and surprisingly comfortable accommodation. John, Open dog sledder 2010

I have now managed to clock up a total of 140km. The last 50km really put the shoe to the test on the dusty high trails of the Annapurna region in Nepal, from Birethanti through Gorepani, Tatopani and on to Beni. The trails were steep ascents and descents on rocky, uneven steps, hot and dusty 4×4 tracks and local mountain trails. This is definitely the type of terrain that the shoe excels in. They felt remarkably stable, and had excellent grip. They were cool in the heat, and the sole is looking surprisingly new without any detectable wear and tear. The shoe let in a lot of dirt, but nothing big enough to cause rubbing or blisters. So far I am impressed and thinking of the next place to put them through their paces.

Sabine Diederichs spent a week in the northern part of Norway dog sledding with ATD in 2010. We recently had an email from her and we feel it really sums up why this is such a great event.
For me it was definitely one of the highlights of my life. I adored the environment and the dogs. Being the only woman participant (as our doctor was lovely Emma) with four really nice strong guys, 6 great dogs (for those who haven’t done it, 6 breakdogpowers is a lot to stop…) each and a nightmare of a journey to reach Alta. But then the beauty of it all, the fabulous working relationship with the dogs, the closeness of the group, the amazing leadership and pesonality of Per Thore, the northern lights, hot tubs, rolling in the snow and the laughter and fun during the evenings. This experience and challenge has lead me to more extreme challenges, as ever raising money for my charity. This is definitely the best challenge I have done and I would recommend it to anyone who is a bit brave as sometimes there is absolutely no way to stop those dogs and, as witnessed on my inboard camera, even I started swearing in English!

Across the Divide came up with the concept of charity dog sledding whilst out in the Arctic on expedition 8 years ago. Since then our years of experience in operating in these testing conditions is unparelled. Check out the video below to hear how Across the Divide co-founder Mark Hannaford and Polar Guide Per Thore Hansen started this fantastic challenge.
