The Best of Sweden: The Itinerary

Your hosts will give you a warm welcome and bring you to the husky farm. On the way, you can admire the beautiful nature that will surround you for the next few days. You will move into the cosy guest house and get to know the excited huskies who will be eagerly waiting to greet you, full of anticipation for your impending adventures! Explore the farm on a tour and end the day with dinner in the main building.

Fortify yourself with a hearty breakfast and look forward to the adventures that lie ahead. Before that, every morning there will be an opportunity to help feed the dogs. They will greet you happily every day and you will quickly get to know the individual characters of these fascinating animals. After breakfast, a musher workshop is on the itinerary for you. This means that you will learn how to handle the dog sled and your very own dog sled team! Find out exciting things about the breeding of sled dogs and how to care for them. During a test drive, you will experience the very special magic of the far north and get to know Sweden from a new perspective. When you get back to the farm, you will have plenty of time to relax and look forward to a tasty dinner. With a bit of luck, you might see the Northern Lights dancing in the night sky above you.
Day 3: Traditional Excursion with Ice Fishing
You will start the day with another hearty breakfast and discuss with your hosts what to expect throughout the day. There are two nature excursions to choose from: you can either go to a frozen lake on snowshoes and try your luck at ice fishing or you can opt for a cross-country skiing excursion, which can still include ice-fishing if you wish! In any case, lunch will be prepared outside by the fire and you can listen to the hosts' exciting stories about life in the far north. In the evening, if you were lucky enough to catch any fish - they can be prepared for your dinner.
Day 4: Excursion to the Arctic Circle
Make your way to the Arctic Circle and explore the area, stopping to take photos at the border of the Arctic Circle. If the weather permits, you can drive even further north and explore the fantastic views. On the way, you will stop at a local supermarket and on the way back you can have a "Fika" aka coffee break. Back at the farm, you will have some free time in the afternoon to relax before you are treated to another delicious dinner.
Day 5: Day at Leisure
You will start the day with a hearty breakfast and, like every morning, you will have the opportunity to take care of the dogs. This day is entirely at your disposal. You will have the choice - you can relax, explore the area, or book an additional excursion. You can take a snowshoe hike into the surrounding nature if you wish. A thermos with coffee or tea and snowshoes can be arranged if you wish to explore. Whatever you decide to do, let yourself be enchanted by the beauty of Sweden!
Day 6: Dog Sledding Tour
Strengthen yourself with breakfast and greet the dogs, who will already be waiting for you full of anticipation. Hop on the runners of the dog sled and let your hard-working four-legged friends pull you into the vast wilderness. Enjoy this special perspective of nature and the silence that surrounds you. You will drive for about 20km through snow-covered forests past fantastic views. After the excursion, there will be enough time to cuddle with the dogs and take care of them. Thank them for a very special experience. You can end the day comfortably with dinner and look out for the Northern Lights in the evening.
Day 7: Culture in Arjeplog
On this day, you will learn exciting things about the culture of the indigenous people - the Sami. You will visit the famous Silver Museum in Arjeplog, which houses a large collection of cultural objects and provides interesting insights into the life of the Sami people. After visiting Arjeplog, stop at a grocery store filled with local delicacies. Today, you will learn a lot about life in the far north and about reindeer herding! Over a leisurely dinner, you can look back on the adventures of the day and share highlights with your hosts.
Day 8: Departure
After a last breakfast together, you will sadly have to say goodbye to your canine companions and lovely hosts before you make your way to the airport. You are sure to bring unique memories and wonderful experiences of Sweden back with you.

Additional Information:
The order of tours and activities within this itinerary may vary due to weather conditions and other contributing factors that must be taken into account by the guides when planning your tour. You will receive the exact order of activities once you arrive on site. The far north can have fluctuating and unpredictable weather with very strong temperature differences. The safety of guests and animals comes first, and for this reason, we reserve the right to change the itinerary and intensity of activities if and when needed. This involves both adjustments due to insufficient snow (meaning we cannot drive the sleds) or too much snow (snowstorms and extreme cold can cause accidents and various other problems). The required adjustments and fallback options in rare cases are based on the day-to-day conditions and can be compensated by shorter or longer daily stages, alternative accommodations, or even single day trips. In extremely rare cases we may organise alternative transport (ie. cars, quad bikes, etc). Feel free to contact us if you would like a more detailed assessment of this tour and travel period.The service providers and tour providers always perform their services in compliance with and in accordance with the official requirements and requirements applicable at the time of stay. For this reason, corona-related reasonable usage rules or restrictions may arise when using said services. Please note these official requirements (Google Translate).

Wow, was für eine tolle Woche. Winter pur, leere Straßen und unglaubliche Ruhe... außer die Hunde sind am Start. Da hört man das Adrenalin - die Freude ist unbeschreiblich und wenn man live dabei ist, nimmt es einen mit in den Bann. Dazu ein herzliches Miteinander auf der Farm und tolles Essen... was will man mehr. Auf diesem Weg noch mal vielen Dank und Alles Gute.

21.12.2022 - 28.12.2022 - Schöne Weihnachten
es war schon lange ein Traum mal mehrere Tage/Touren mit einem Hundeschlitten unterwegs zu sein. Die Tour hatte ich über Weihnachten gebucht und muss sagen, es war einfach super. Polarlichter konnte ich beobachten und die Hunde sowie Bestitzer waren einfach super nett und umgänglich. Alle sehr freundlich und unkompliziert.
Die Touren mit dem Hundeschlitten waren sehr entspannt und einfach super. Des Weiteren konnten wir noch bei Michael, einem Auswanderer aus Deutschland, einen Messerschmiedekurs durchführen.
Die gesamte Gruppe, Konstantin, Johanne und die Volantäre waren eine sehr lustige Truppe. Es gab jeden Tag was zu lachen und hat einfach Spaß gemacht.
Jeder der sich für so etwas interessiert, sollte dies einmal machen. Ich kann es nur empfehlen und würde es auf jeden Fall wieder machen.
