Following the ride, guests can unwind in a steaming sauna and dip into a Nordic bath, both offering therapeutic warmth against the crisp winter air.

Access to the region’s rich wildlife—such as foxes or weasels—adds to the thrill, alongside lesser-known spots like hidden snowshoe trails or icy coves. The area boasts a deep history rooted in indigenous practices and fur trade stories, reinforced by ongoing conservation efforts that protect local ecosystems.
