The dogs greet you before the guide does: a chorus of eager barks, thick fur steaming in the cold air, harnesses clicking like a metronome. You step onto the runner, feel the sled settle, and the forest answers — a quiet that seems to push the team forward. Over five kilometers the trail threads silver birch and spruce, skims a frozen river, and opens to low fell views where the wind sculpts snow into clean ridges.
