Husky Weekend in Northern Sweden: The itinerary

Day 1: Arrival
You will be picked up at Luleå Kallax Airport or Luleå train station. From there, the drive to the lodge only takes about 40 minutes. Depending on your arrival time, you can use the first afternoon to settle in and relax. In the evening, a delicious 3-course meal awaits you in the restaurant and afterwards you can ask for a few tips on where you might be lucky to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights later in the evening. For complete relaxation, you can use the optional sauna (at an extra charge).

Day 2: Dog sledding in the Swedish wilderness
After a hearty breakfast, you will take a short drive to a local husky farm today. Here, after a briefing, you can drive your own sled dog team in pairs of two and take turns driving. Enjoy the beautiful surroundings while the happy and eager dogs pull you through the snow-covered landscape. The tour lasts around 1.5 hours in total before you return to the lodge for a relaxing end to the day. Don't forget to walk a few meters in the dark in the evening after dinner and keep an eye out for the Northern Lights!
