It is important for us that our guests and our staff feel safe. Therefore, we have collected information on how we act in different areas.
During all our tours we have a maximum number of 6 persons. We might be able to arrange private tours / accommodation on request, depending on the booking situation.

We have extended cleaning and hygiene practices. Both staff and guests are encouraged to wash their hands frequently with soap and warm water. Hand sanitizer is an option when hand washing is not possible (during tours for example). Surfaces and equipment that may be transmittable are regularly disinfected / treated. Special attention will be paid to the regular ventilation of all inside areas (guesthouse and wilderness camps).

On our yard we have the guesthouse Mushers Lodge with 7 bedrooms (4 double rooms, 1 four bed room and 2 rooms for 6 persons). In total we have three toilets and three showers. We will ensure that guests do not have to share rooms if they are not in the same company. All guests will share the toilets and bathrooms with as little guests from outside their company as possible. Toilets and showers will be cleaned several times per day, depending on the number of parties / guests in the Lodge.

During our day tours we spend all time outside, because of that it is easier to keep distance. When handling food, we make sure to wash our hands (alternatively use hand sanitizer) and use plastic gloves when direct contact with the food is necessary.On tours where guests ride as passenger on the guides sled, each party / company will have its own sled (driven by the guide).

During our longer trips, we are mostly outdoors but also indoors, when spending the night in different wilderness camps. If possible, we eat outdoors as often as we can. Otherwise, we will ensure that avoiding close contact is possible. When handling food, we make sure to wash our hands (alternatively use hand sanitizer) and use plastic gloves when direct contact with the food is necessary.

At our overnight places we sleep in wilderness cabins. In the small cabins we will be the only group there. In our main wilderness cabin each group will get a designated area and rooms to use. At all cabins, people that belong to the same company will have their own bedroom. In the sleeping bags everyone uses brought travel sheets. The sleeping bags will be ventilated for several days between uses and every guest will receive his own pillowcase to take with him on tour.

We recommend to our guests to use their own clothes as much as possible. Warm overalls and winter boots are good to borrow from us, these we will desinfect between uses.

For transfers, we use a minibus with 8 seats. To keep distance, we limit the number of passengers to a maximum of 5p (if not everyone is in the same company). We will clean our cars regularly and disinfect between drives. All people in the car have to wear a facemask.

If someone gets sick during a tour, we will try to isolate the person in question from the others in the group, and if necessary transport the person back to the yard. When traveling in the area around Kiruna, transportation back to the yard or to hospital can be done within 1-2 hours. When out on a tour to the mountain / tundra region, transportation can / will take a lot longer.

In case of Corona related restrictions or sickness, that make it impossible to travel to us, we primarily try to re-book your stay to another date. If that is not possible then we will fully refund the booking. If you feel unsure about going through with your trip, contact us as soon as possible. We strongly recommend all guests to sign a travel insurance, which will refund your already made payments in case of sickness.

We assume that our guests follow the recommendations of the authorities. As a guest you also have a responsibility when you visit us.

• If you have symptoms, stay home. Contact us and we try to reschedule your tour to another date.

• When traveling here, it is important that you follow recommendations and avoid crowds.

• During the tour, everyone must follow the guidelines we have set up.

• If you feel sick during the tour, we want you to talk to us directly so we can solve it as quickly as possible.

• We provide soap and hand sanitizer where it is most necessary, such as toilets, but we also recommend you to have your own hand sanitizer/wet wipes in your luggage.
