The perfect way to experience the arctic wilderness! Behind a pack of happy husky tails, you enter deep into the mountains, with only the sound of drooping paws against the snow.

First there is the excitement of the start but soon we drive in silence into the magnificent arctic landscape, where you can enjoy the tranquility of the wilderness. The path goes through a changing and magical arctic terrain, along rivers, through valleys, forests and over hills, all in a frozen landscape that makes you breathless. The winter above the polar circle is special. It is often quiet and starry. The trees are covered with ice crystals, and nature has gone into a dormant state. It will never be completely dark while the Aurora Borealis is over us. This quiet way of traveling allows you to get close to wildlife and far away from civilization in a very short time. Experience the friendship and cooperation with the dogs and learn to steer them smoothly and silently through a beautiful winter wonderland.

HUSKIES For generations, Huskies have been side by side humans and were indispensable for an arctic environment. They are born to pull heavy loads over long distances and live in the wilderness, and they love to run!

CLOSE BOND The dogs are positioned based on their personal characteristics, the smart leading dogs in the front and the strongest dogs in the back. The guides know the dogs inside and out and have a very close bond with them, they are the best colleagues in the world!

SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE Dog sledding is suitable for everyone, and there are many ways to do it. Larger sleds take passengers with a guide behind, so you can sit and enjoy without having to drive yourself. Smaller sleds can be run by yourself with a friend who travels on hour-long trips, or you can participate in multiday trips with a hiking trail full of food, tents and equipment, and help your own team reach today’s goals.
