Dog sledding was so much fun! We rode for about 3 hours to the cabin the first day and 1.5 hours on the way back. Our guide Gijs was fantastic. We got to help feed and prepare the dogs, get firewood, and get water from the river. The food was amazing and the overnight tour was definitely worth the extra time and cost compared to just a day tour.

The activity started with pick up in time in Kiruna. Afterwards we were provided with warm clothes, shoes, gloves and hats. Being ready for the cold we were shown how to set up the sleds and prepare the dogs. Even though this is quite a long process it is necessary for the tour because in the evening and next morning you need to be able to handle the process by yourself with some support of the guide, since you are in the cabin in the woods. The pure sledding in the afternoon took around 2,5 hours (which was plenty of time, towards the end we started the get cold) and another hour the next morning. The night we stayed in a cabin with no power or water, but it had a stove and a Sauna and was clean. Also the dinner and breakfast food was good considering the circumstances. Important to mention is that there is no possibility to shower, you can only use heated up water to clean yourself a bit.
