Activity
Meet your guide at the activity base for this dog sledding experience in Swedish Lapland. A chance to sample authentic arctic living, choose to sit back in the sled or take the reigns, driving your own pack of lively huskies! A bucket list experience for children and big kids alike, each sled can carry up to 4 passengers - making it perfect for small groups and families. Start by meeting the dogs and getting them ready for the adventure - learning a few commands before you set off into the arctic Taiga. Pulled through the snow by 12 powerful Alaskan Huskies, travel along wild yet well-maintained tracks in the wilderness - crossing frozen rivers and lakes to reach a rustic cabin deep in the woods. Here, you'll have a chance to warm up with a traditional Swedish feast - spending time with your pack and enjoying your snowy surroundings on foot. Chasing the sunset, travel back through the forest to the activity base where you can have a last cuddle with the dogs before your return transport will take you back to your accommodation.
