Thank you to Johan for an adventure that I will never forget. For 3 days we glided through stunning scenery with the only noises being the sleds carving through the snow and the occassional yelp from one of the dogs. Nights around the fire were great fun as the stories flowed...

Sled Dog Adventure Holiday

HIGHLIGHTS: 3 night wilderness adventure driving your own sled dog team from one remote location to another. Pristine wilderness, cosy cabins and great friendships are guaranteed.

Very few experiences can match the closeness to nature experienced on an extended sled dog safari. With a maximum of 6 teams on one trip, venture out in the hands of one of the best mushers in Sweden for the journey of a lifetime.

Fly to Sweden. Transfer to Kangos to Start Sled Dog Holiday

After the flight to Kiruna or Kittilä airport, you will be picked up by your host. Drive to Pine Tree Lodge in Kangos, a small village 150 km north of the Arctic Circle set in the northern Torne river valley. After arrival in Kangos meet the huskies and get a chance to learn more about these remarkable animals.

Day 2
Sled Dog Adventure Begins. Distances 40-50 Kilometres

Enjoy a hearty breakfast before your guide walks you to the kennel. Pack provisions for the trek prior to harnessing the dogs. Before setting off have a comprehensive brief on the journey ahead and instructions from the guide how to mush and take care of your own team of 4-5 dogs. Everyone will be driving their own sled dog team and each day will be 5-6 hours sledding.

Lunch will be served along the route and before nightfall arrive at the timber cottage where you will spend the night. Enjoy dinner cooked by the guide and perhaps wander around outside if the Northern Lights are present.

Day 3
Sled Dog Continues... Distance 40-50 Kilometres

After a good night's sleep in a small wood cabin start the day by taking care of the dogs whilst the guide cooks breakfast. After feeding the dogs enjoy breakfast and discuss the routing for the day.

Harness the huskies and head off. The only sounds that can be heard are the breathing of the dogs and the noise of their paws on the snow. Stop after 2-3 hours and enjoy lunch out in the wild before the dogs beckon you to continue the journey to the next wilderness lodge. Continue mushing for 2-3 hours.

The day ends in a warm cabin with a wholesome home cooked meal before settling down to sleep.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
