Participants each have their own dog sled pulled by a team of 4-6 huskies, looking after each other and becoming a powerful unit by the end of the charity challenge. The nature of the adventure means that it is run with a relatively small number of participants (13 maximum). Team members are expected to feed, harness and look after their dogs for the entire trip. An ATD expedition leader, supported by an experienced expedition doctor and a local Norwegian guide, will head up the charity expedition.

Across the Divide is the foremost provider of charity challenges and charity dog sledding or sledging in the Arctic. Our challenge team, back up, and level of service are second to none. We have chosen Northern Norway as the location for our charity dog sled expeditions in order to attain a greater sense of wilderness and adventure, but we can provide all services in northern Sweden as well.

All our charity challenges are accompanied by some of the most experienced Arctic travellers and cold weather trained wilderness medics in the business and operate in both Swedish and Norwegian Lapland. The pristine beauty oand the alienness of this snowbound environment is truly something to behold- the sense of space and freedom you get from standing outside of your cabin watching the majestic display of the northern lights is quite unique.

We had a brilliant time and we all loved it. As for the dog sledding in general, our charity is extremely pleased with the results and we look forward to a continuing relationship with Across the Divide.
