Dog Sledding Lodge to Lodge

4 days, your own husky team and the wilderness ahead

Travel by dog sled through Swedish Lapland, staying in cosy wilderness lodges and traditional homesteads along the way. With your own team of huskies, expert guides, freshly prepared meals and evenings beneath the Arctic sky, this is a true journey into the wild.

Journey deep into the Arctic wilderness with your own team of huskies.

Over 4 unforgettable days, this immersive expedition takes you by dog sled through the remote and beautifully untouched landscapes of Swedish Lapland. After learning the basics of sled driving, you will meet your husky team and set out across frozen trails, travelling between secluded wilderness lodges and traditional homesteads surrounded by snow-covered forests and fells.

Each day brings a new stage of the journey, with time to build a connection with the dogs, help care for the team and experience the extraordinary rhythm of life on the trail. Evenings are spent in warm, welcoming surroundings, where you can relax in the sauna, enjoy freshly prepared meals inspired by the flavours of Lapland and share stories from the day before retiring to your private log cabin.

Far from towns and artificial light, the journey offers a true sense of stillness and escape. You may encounter wildlife along the way, and on clear nights the Northern Lights can illuminate the sky above your lodge. Combining exhilarating days of dog sledding with thoughtful comfort, exceptional food and the quiet beauty of the Arctic wilderness, this is a genuine Lapland adventure that will stay with you long after you return home.
