A chance to witness the wonder of the Northern Lights
Drive a team of huskies around 180kms of beautiful, frozen Arctic landscape as you take on a challenge that is completely different to everything you know, Dog Sledding. You’ll live an Arctic wilderness lifestyle, without electricity, running water or a flushing toilet.
You’ll drive a team of loyal huskies through the snow-covered forests of Swedish Lapland in freezing temperatures. Experience the silence of nature as you glide through this winter wonderland, while taking the opportunity to spot elk, moose and reindeer with the potential to see the spectacular Northern Lights.
The adventure begins in Kiruna, Sweden’s northernmost city, situated 145kms north of the Arctic Circle.
The region is home to the Sami people, and you will learn about their culture including spending the night in a Sami tee pee.
