Lapland's wilderness with your own dog sled: the itinerary

Day 1: Arrival
Take the train or a flight to Kiruna, where your one-hour transfer to the husky farm awaits. Move into your own authentic wooden cabin right on the farm and settle in. The rustic accommodation is equipped with a wood-fired oven and electricity, the outdoor toilet is behind the cabin and there is a sauna where you can wash yourself on the premises. Enjoy a welcome dinner with the rest of your tour group, where your guide will discuss the schedule for the upcoming days with you.
The on-site travel services begin with dinner on the first day and end with breakfast on the last day.

Day 2: The first sled tour
After breakfast, the adventure begins! Look forward to the exciting day ahead and meet the friendly huskies for the first time. You will be thoroughly instructed in the handling of sled dogs and the knowledge of dogsledding, and then the dog teams will be introduced and you prepare your sleds together. Then you head off on the first tour of the trip! Experience the breathtaking nature of Swedish Lapland and let your own sled dog team pull you through the wilderness. On the way, you take a break and prepare a simple Swedish wilderness lunch. You can enjoy moose meat, locally caught fish, or reindeer. In the afternoon you return to the farm.

Day 3 & 4: Through the last wilderness of Lapland
Over these days you will travel over frozen lakes and through the forests of Lapland. You will be able to enjoy the majestic beauty of this frozen wilderness, exploring the scenic nature with your faithful dogs. No two days will be the same and you will see many different sceneries on your adventure! You head to a beautiful secluded wilderness cabin which will be your camp for the night. Spend your evening enjoying a soothing traditional sauna and keeping your eye out for the spectacular Northern Lights. Your chances to see the breathtaking natural light display out here in the wilderness is quite high, as you are far away from light pollution.
