Winter Weekend with Huskies and Northern Lights: the itinerary

Day 1: Arrival
Welcome to Swedish Lapland! You will be picked up on arrival at Luleå Airport or in Boden and can check into your cozy accommodation in the afternoon after about an hour's drive. Enjoy your first dinner on site and recover well from your travel day, as there is plenty to experience over the next few days.
The local travel services begin with arrival in the afternoon and dinner on the first day and end with breakfast and transfer on the last day.

Day 2: Husky tour through the Swedish wilderness
After a hearty breakfast, you will drive to a nearby husky farm, where you will be greeted by the joyful barking of the dogs. You will get an introduction to the dogs and a safety briefing from your guide, before it's time to meet your team and prepare for the ride. The dogs are harnessed and you take your place on the sled, ready to steer the team. Two of you share a sled and take turns driving. For refreshment, there is a Swedish "fika" with hot drinks and snacks. The tour lasts around 2.5 hours before you return to the hotel for a relaxing end to the day. Don't forget to walk a few meters in the dark after dinner to keep an eye out for the Northern Lights!

Day 3: Day at leisure: snowmobile, reindeer and northern lights
After a delicious breakfast, you will start in a new day that you can organize just as you wish! Many more adventures await you (costs depending on the activity, see "Extras"). From further husky tours to exciting snowmobile rides, a visit to a Sami family and their reindeer, ice fishing, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, ice and snow sculpting to Ayurvedic treatments and private sauna sessions, everything Lapland has to offer is possible! You can also grab a kicksled and explore the area on your own. The hire of a kicksled is already included in the accommodation.
Another highlight are the various aurora activities - with a bit of luck, you can experience this incomparable natural spectacle up close. You will certainly never forget the sight of the dancing lights in the starry sky of Swedish Lapland.

Day 4: Departure
After a last delicious breakfast, you will be taken back to the train station or airport. We wish you a pleasant journey home and many happy memories of an exciting time in the far north.
