Philipp Bergau Polar Guiding

Text Widget

Philipp Bergau grew up as an ordinary Berlin city boy with no intention living in the outdoors. A decent education, a study after that, then working as an event lighting technician- that was the plan. But 10 years ago, it all changed when he got his first sleddog out of a dog shelter. Since then it was a constant improvement from city life, to a cabin in the woods of Germany, to 4 years of guiding people in northern Sweden. And finally, coming up to Svalbard with 5 of his own bred dogs. During all this time he learned allot from different people/musher and he did read all he could. The rest of the time he spent on multiple week hikes during summer and on the sled and skis during winter time.

Now he and his 8 Alaskan Malamutes are living between Åre and Svalbard

Polar dogs, deep valleys, vast forests, majestic mountains and clean silence, only interrupted by the breathing of running dogs, our sled and skis gliding on the hard-packed snow surface. A few hours or multiple days of breathtaking views! Experience one of the most spectacular parts of nature you will ever find together with the incredible and loyal creatures we call man’s best friend – and I call family.
