You are given logs and ropes, and once you build your own raft according to your own specifications you can enjoy a few days of drifting down a scenic and breathtaking waterway. Packages available from Vildmark i Värmland are designed to suit the individual, and professional personnel are on hand if needed. If you like spending your time outdoors and if you do not fear a trip that is not planned to the second – and for which you will have to do some physical hard work – this timber raft tour will suit you perfectly.

Husky sledding in Greenland
The sparkling ice-bound landscapes of east Greenland are the setting for an exclusive spring holiday. During your stay in this truly beautiful place, you will be given the opportunity to explore the frozen wilderness by husky sled and visit a traditional Greenlandic community, learning about a way of life that is unique to the Arctic region.
On one of these husky-driven expeditions, you will pick up some of the secrets of “mushing” from the driver as you glide silently over the ice and snow. No special skills are needed to take part but a reasonable level of fitness is a must if you are to enjoy this trip to the full.
