  2. Day 2

    First Husky Sled Experience

    Start by heading to the dog kennels to meet your husky team. Your guide demonstrates how to harness each dog to the sled properly, then you'll take your first run through Lapland's winter landscape at a good pace. Around midday you'll stop for lunch with hot drinks and snacks, then continue on to reach your log cabin in the wilderness. Later, you'll help prepare the dogs' food, fetch water from the lake, and finish the evening with a sauna.

The route takes you through wintry forest and moorland, eventually reaching the Swedish tundra where the landscape shifts noticeably. Keep your eyes open for reindeer and snow hares along the way. By evening you'll reach camp and have dinner with the other travelers, sharing stories from the day.

  4. Day 4

    Torneälven River and Arctic Silence

    Your connection with the husky team deepens as you set off again. This time you'll travel along the frozen Tornéälven river, navigating the safe passages while the dogs pull you forward through the Arctic landscape. The silence out there beyond the Arctic Circle is something you'll really notice, with just the sound of the team and the snow around you.

    Team Experience and Fell Landscape

    By now you and your fellow travelers move as a coordinated unit with the huskies. The morning involves dog care tasks like preparing food and chopping wood for the camp. Then you'll head out again to explore more of Lapland's wilderness, listening to the steady sound of paws on snow and feeling the sled beneath you. You'll navigate through gentle hills and dips in the fells before reaching camp for the evening.

  6. Day 6

    Nordic Solitude and Northern Lights

    You'll travel deeper into the snow-covered forests of Lapland, driving the sled with confidence while surrounded by Nordic solitude. Watch for tracks left by moose, Arctic foxes, and capercaillie in the snow. If you're lucky, the dark midwinter sky may display the Northern Lights, with green and purple auroras dancing overhead. You'll have a steaming mug in hand while taking in the view.

    Included Activities

    • Sled ride through Nordic forests
    • Wildlife tracking and observation
    • Northern Lights viewing opportunity

    Swedish Arctic

  7. Day 7

    Return to Husky Farm and Reflection

    The huskies take you through the landscape one final time. Around midday the husky farm appears on the horizon, signaling the end of your adventure. When you arrive, you'll remove the harnesses and prepare the dogs' last meal. That evening brings a farewell dinner with your fellow travelers where you'll all reflect on the memories, obstacles you overcame, and the remote parts of Lapland you've seen together.

    We had a great time during this trip, everything was perfectly organised and went as expected. I would not necessarily recommend sleeping in the cold room at the Ice hotel, since you can anyway visit the rooms, but the hotel itself was great, with awesome excursions and the warm rooms are very comfortable. Tromso was also really beautiful and I wish I could have stayed there a bit longer!

    The trip was well planned and varied. Unfortunately, the northern lights could only be seen in photographs.
