Dog Sledding Lapland

Dog sledding in Lapland: An intense nature experience in the Scandinavian north

The crisp crunching of the sled runners on the snow, the panting of the dogs, and occasional encouraging cry of the musher are the only sounds heard in this wide unspoilt expanse of nature. On such occasions, only the moment counts. There is no better way to explore the winter's vastness in the north, than on a dog sledding holiday in Lapland. Husky trips in Scandinavia are a natural and authentic way to travel, so an amazing and unique experience is guaranteed. On a dog sled vacation, you will learn to appreciate and love the unspoilt allure of Scandinavia in all of its winter beauty.

Demanding and authentic — a real active holiday with Huskies

During a husky tour in Lapland, you will learn to lead a team of Alaskan Husky sled dogs of your own. As a rule, a certain amount of physical fitness is required to fully enjoy the husky journey and truly appreciate the sleigh ride. However, you do not need experience to participate in the mushing on most dog sledding holidays. Accomplished mushers will be at your side, and you will learn under expert instruction how to guide the dogs safely and independently using voice commands. Even those who have experienced dog sledding before will find that some of the trips and excursions in Lapland will present them with new challenges.
On a dog sledding holiday, you will once again discover a simple way of life surrounded by nature. Accommodation in Norway, Sweden, and Finland is found in simple, cozy cabins that welcome you to this superb wilderness in authentic style. With cooking done on an open fire, and partaking in activities such as the feeding of the dogs, you will quickly find yourself falling into a rhythm that characterises the way of life in Lapland.

With the dog sled through Lapland teamwork is required

The main attraction of the Adventure Husky Tour Lapland is the dogs. The huskies are very unusual animals. With their power, intelligence and an extraordinary sense of camaraderie, these beautiful dogs will inspire you. Each team follows a lead dog, which is the most important companion on the sled dog vacation in Lapland. The dogs are well trained and disciplined so that working with them is a pleasure.
In the boundless expanse of wintry Scandinavia, where the temperatures can drop below -40° Celsius, people have always been able to survive despite the unforgiving territory. Working as part of a team makes husky holidays in Lapland a particularly enriching experience. Daily chores such as looking after the Huskies, dealing with the fire, and things like preparing the food and water require everyone to actively get involved. In the course of participating in the joint activities, lasting friendships are formed.

Pure and breathtaking nature

Lapland is a place where you can enjoy the stillness of nature, the peace of solitude, the magnificent landscapes and the indigenous wildlife. Away from settlements, engine noise, and light pollution, you can access the pristine winter wonderland of Lapland with the dog sled team. Many husky tours venture into protected and remote nature reserves that are not accessible by other forms of transport.  The wintry darkness of Lapland allows for a spectacular natural display: the famous Northern Lights. After a busy day dog sledding, Lapland rewards you with a stunning and fascinating light show that will be something to remember forever.
