Winter week with huskies in breathtaking nature: The itinerary
Day 1: Arrival
You will be picked up at Arvidsjaur Airport and drive for around an hour through the beautiful Swedish countryside before arriving at the husky farm and settling into the simple but cozy accommodation. You will stay in a traditional Swedish country house with all modern amenities such as free Wi-Fi, a common room, kitchen and two bathrooms. The German emigrant Konstantin who owns the husky farm is a trained chef and over a delicious welcome dinner in the main house, you will discuss the schedule for the eventful days ahead.
The local travel services begin with dinner on the first day and end with breakfast on the last day.

Day 2: The first sledding tour
After feeding the dogs, a rich breakfast will be waiting for you. If you want, you are always welcome to help feeding the huskies. Look forward to the exciting days ahead and get to know the friendly and cuddly dogs. After breakfast, there will be a detailed musher workshop and kennel tour followed by a first test drive through snowy landscapes. After about an hour you will return and after the dogs are taken care of, a delicious lunch will be served. In the afternoon you will have some free time and the opportunity to spend time with the dogs and ask questions about them and the mushing. After the dogs got their food, dinner will be served in the main house.
Day 3: Snowshoe tour & Ice Fishing
Today after breakfast you will go on a snowshoe hike. This takes you right into the Swedish nature, where you can refresh yourself with snacks and hot drinks. After you have rested your legs a bit, the tour continues through the deep snow. At the end of the day you will have the opportunity to catch your dinner in the traditional way by going Ice Fishing. Your host will show you the most important tips and tricks.
Day 4: Get to know the breathtaking nature on skids
After breakfast, today's two-hour husky tour will take you through a beautiful snow-covered landscape. Enjoy the view from your husky sled and listen to the paws of your committed companions on the snow cover. You will drive with your own team over lakes, through snowy forests and over small mountains, from which you have a wonderful view over the surrounding nature. For lunch you will be back at the farm and strengthen yourself with a warm meal. The afternoon is off for you. How about ice fishing, a snowshoe hike (snowshoes and ice fishing equipment are available free of charge) or a relaxing stay in the sauna? Of course you can also go cuddle and play with the dogs! In the evening a traditional Swedish meal is waiting for you.
Day 5: Free Day
Today is a day off for everyone! After breakfast you can relax in the sauna, take pictures, try your hand at ice fishing or just enjoy a good book. You are welcome to join the host in caring for the dogs throughout the day. A snowshoe tour, a snowmobile safari or a forging workshop can also be booked. In the evening everyone meets again for dinner in the main house.
Day 6: Husky tour through the Swedish wilderness
After yesterday was rather quiet, today after breakfast you will set off for a full-day dog sled tour (4-6h). Snacks for humans and animals are packed so that no one has to starve. After the huskies have been harnessed, the adventure in the Swedish wilderness begins. It takes you over long lakes and past small sleepy islands. Enjoy the silence as you glide over the snow on your sleds with the only sound you hear is the paws of the dogs on the snow. After a lunch break by an open fire you return to the farm. There you will take care of the dogs first. Afterwards, you can look forward to your own dinner.
Day 7: Another full-day husky tour in impressive nature
After a proper breakfast, the excited dogs are put in front of the sleds again to go on another full-day tour. Between mountains and valleys, dense forests and frozen lakes you make your way. Maybe you even see a moose in the wild? About half way you will stop for an outdoor lunch. The dogs will get some snacks as well, and then tackle the last few miles. At the end of your tour, you will once again enjoy fantastic views and afterwards return to the farm. Once there, you will thank the dogs with extensive petting and cuddling. After everything is put away, you can relax until dinner.
Day 8: Journey home
Today it is time to say goodbye. After breakfast you will be taken to the airport with many great memories of your beautiful husky week in Sweden.
Accommodation:
On the husky farm you will stay in the guest house, which is located about 40 meters from the main house. The guest house has several bedrooms spread over two floors. There is a bathroom with sink and toilet on the upper floor as well as on the lower floor. On the lower floor, the shower is shared by all guests. A lounge and cooking facilities are available and can be shared. Extra beds and cribs are available. Meals are always served in the main house. Free wifi is available.
There are often some volunteers on site (one room in the guest house, one room in the main house) who get to know life on a husky farm and are happy to help and advise you during your stay.
Arrival:
It is best to fly to Arvidsjaur (AJR) airport, from there you will be picked up and taken to the husky farm at no additional cost. The drive takes about an hour and can be done at any arrival or departure time. For especially early or late flights (before 7:00 or after 21:00) please consult us first.
Alternatively, you can fly to Stockholm and then take the night train (private sleeping compartment) to Jörn. From there, bus number 26 continues to Arvidsjaur.
Likewise, you can travel to Luleå Airport (LLA) and from there board bus number 221 to Arvidsjaur.
Transfers to/from Skellefteå (SFT), Luleå (LLA) airports and Jörn train station are generally possible, but involve additional transfer costs and arrangements.
Fitness:
For this trip, you should be able to stand on the sled for several hours in rough weather and cold temperatures and hold on to it, even if the dogs want to run off. You will learn everything you need to know in your first workshop, but you should be able to implement the instructions on your own afterwards. You will also be out and about when there is a lot of fresh snow and may have to help the dogs in some passages, especially uphill, by jumping off the sled and pushing it along.
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.
