Husky dream in wintry Sweden: The itinerary

Day 1: Welcome to Taikuri Farm
After your arrival in Östersund Airport or train station, you will be warmly welcomed and taken to the idyllic Taikuri Farm on a shared transfer. On the way, you can leave everyday life behind you and look forward to a week full of unique experiences. Once you arrive at the farm, you will be accommodated in a cozy holiday home. In the evening, dinner will be served and you can round off the day with a first get-together.

Day 2: A tour with the dog sled
Today your adventure begins with an exciting husky tour! You will set off in a small group to explore the wintry landscape with a large husky team. While an experienced musher steers the sled, you can sit back and enjoy the passing nature. The powerful dogs will take you over frozen lakes and through snow-covered mountain landscapes. Later that day, a hearty dinner awaits you, followed by an unforgettable night ride with the huskies. Feel the silence of the far north and watch the hard-working dogs run by the light of your headlamps.

Day 3: Winter hiking with huskies
Start the day with a hearty breakfast before a guided snowshoe hike is on the programme today. The special thing about it: You will be accompanied by a husky! Together you will discover the white landscapes and then take a break by a campfire. Just like the Swedes, you will fortify yourself with a traditional fika (coffee break) and then hike back to the farm. The day ends with a delicious dinner.

Day 4: Overnight stay in a mountain cabin
Look forward to a once-in-a-lifetime experience: you will spend the night in a simple mountain cabin - surrounded by huskies! Make yourself comfortable by the warm wood-burning stove and spend plenty of time with the dogs. During stroking sessions, you get to know your four-legged friends better and also have the opportunity for interesting conversations with your fellow travellers. After a restful night in the quiet seclusion of the cabin, you will return to Taikuri Farm the next morning.

Day 5: Snowmobile safari through nature
On your return to the farm, an exciting snowmobile adventure awaits you. You drive up into the fell landscape and enjoy the fresh air and expansive views of the surrounding winter landscape. An unforgettable feeling of freedom! The adrenalin will rush through your veins while you get to know a whole new, fast-paced side of Sweden. You have really earned your dinner this evening.

Day 6: A day off
You can organise the day as you wish. Read by the fireplace, go for a walk or just feel the relaxing moment. If you'd like, you can also take part in the daily chores around the huskies and learn more about life with these wonderful animals. Use this day to recharge your batteries and prepare for the rest of the week's adventures.

Day 7: Second husky tour
A second husky tour is on the schedule today. Once again, the guide will drive you through Swedish nature with the large dog team. After all the shared moments of the past week, you have already built up a deep bond with the huskies. In the evening, you will be served a special farewell dinner before you can go outside to watch the Northern Lights if you are lucky. The clear cold air and darkness of the night offer the best conditions for seeing this natural spectacle. Have your camera ready!

Day 8: Farewell and departure
After breakfast, you will unfortunately have to say goodbye today. You will be taken to the airport or train station in Östersund and can start your journey home from there. In your luggage are many memories that you have made over the past week. You will certainly remember this trip and the friendly huskies for a long time to come.

Accommodation:
Taikuri Farm is located in the mountain village of Bakvattnet in the Jämtland region, between Stor Bakvattnet lake and the mountains of Ansättfjäll.

The rooms are friendly and traditionally furnished and have enough space for a good night's sleep. The common rooms invite you to lean back or socialise with other guests.
