Drive the Pack: 24 km of Mushing Across Rentjärn’s Snow-Covered Moors.
Out from Rentjärn, a compact team of eager huskies pulls you across broad, snow-slicked moors for a focused 3.5–4 hour outing; the rhythm of runners on crusted snow and a pause at a fire-warmed wilderness cabin shape a trip that’s as much about the dogs and the quiet landscape as it is about the drive itself.
