All About Our Dog Sledding Adventures in Lapland and Scandinavia
Got questions about dog sledding tours in Lapland and Scandinavia? Our expert travel team is here to personally support you every step of the way.
What is the difference between Lapland and Scandinavia?
Lapland traditionally refers to parts of Norway, Sweden, and Finland, but today mainly means northern Sweden and Finland. In Norway, people more often refer to Finnmark or Northern Norway. Scandinavia is a broader term and also includes Denmark, among others.
How do sled dogs react to guests and guides?
Sled dogs primarily follow their trusted guides and may respond differently depending on their personality. Guests learn basic commands and are encouraged to use them, but most dog teams naturally follow the lead sled driven by the guide, which limits direct control by the guests.
What role does Sámi culture play in dog sledding tours?
Dog sledding is not a traditional part of Sámi culture, which is more closely connected to reindeer herding. In some areas, the two even compete. However, many tours can be combined with visits to Sámi villages and unique reindeer experiences for a deeper cultural insight.
How do tours differ in forests, on the fjell, or across frozen lakes?
Frozen lakes can be especially cold, while conditions on the fjell (open mountain terrain) are often milder in spring. Gliding through snow-covered forests where branches bend under the weight of snow creates a magical and deeply atmospheric dog sledding experience.
How does a weekend trip compare to a longer dog sledding expedition?
Shorter trips focus more on the experience of sledding itself, while longer expeditions immerse you in the daily routine with the dogs. Guests take on more responsibility, care for the huskies, and form a stronger bond with the team — often leading to a truly unforgettable adventure.
What are the light conditions like in Lapland during winter?
Around the winter solstice in late December, it’s darkest, but daylight increases every day afterward. Scandinavia never gets completely dark — several hours of twilight light up the day. In Finland, this soft blue light is called “Kaamos” — a magical period perfect for spotting the Northern Lights.
Husky Adventures in the North: Exploring the Arctic by Dog Sled
On a dog sledding tour through the vast, snow-covered landscapes of the Nordic countries, you'll have a rare opportunity to experience the magic of the Northern Lights and capture unforgettable moments — far from light and air pollution.

Dog Sledding in Lapland: A Deep Connection with Nature in the Nordic North
The soft crunch of sled runners on fresh snow, the steady breath of the huskies, the occasional call of the musher, and the vast, untouched landscapes all around – in moments like these, nothing else matters. Is there any better way to explore the winter wilderness of the North than by dog sled? A dog sledding adventure through Scandinavia offers an authentic and peaceful experience that stays with you. Whether in Norway, Finland, or Sweden, the remote and silent landscapes of Lapland reveal their most magical side in winter.
Demanding Yet Rewarding – A True Active Holiday
On a dog sledding tour in Lapland, you'll learn to handle your own team of sled dogs. A moderate level of physical fitness is usually enough to enjoy the ride – sometimes slow and steady, sometimes thrilling and fast-paced. No prior mushing experience is needed. Experienced guides are by your side, showing you how to safely and confidently guide the dogs using only your voice. Even seasoned adventurers will find new challenges on longer expeditions. In Sweden, for example, tours embrace a simple, nature-based lifestyle: cozy nights in rustic cabins, cooking over open fires, and caring for the huskies immerse you in the rhythm of the Arctic – a rhythm that defines life in the far North.
Through the Heart of Lapland by Dog Sled: It’s All About Teamwork
Your most important partners on this journey are the sled dogs. With their strength, intelligence, and incredible enthusiasm for running, they win over every musher. Each team follows a lead dog – a loyal companion and guide throughout the trip. These dogs are well-trained and eager to work, making the experience deeply enjoyable. In the remote expanses of winter Scandinavia, where temperatures can drop below –40°C, survival has always depended on cooperation. That same spirit defines today’s dog sledding adventures: feeding the dogs, chopping wood, lighting fires, or fetching water – your active participation is essential. This hands-on approach builds a strong sense of camaraderie and often leads to lasting friendships, making your Arctic journey truly unforgettable.
