What you need to know about our dog sledding tours
Do I need prior experience of dog sledding?
No, absolutely not! We are always happy to share our passion for sled dogs with “newbies”. So you don’t have to worry if you haven’t been on a sled before, we will give you a crash course in dog sledding and our dogs are all well trained and listen to guests easily.
Is there a physical requirement?
Here in Lapland we are a hardy bunch, and our tours take place in all weathers – so be ready! It could be windy, icy or snowy but that won’t stop us having an incredible experience together.
Our HUSKY SAFARI requires a medium to high level of fitness. We cross varied terrain and you must be fit enough to help your team and push your sled sometimes. For our NEXT LEVEL ADVENTURE and WILDERNESS EXPEDITION a high level of fitness is required.
Wondering if you’re fit enough for a dogsledding tour? Check out our guide to assess your fitness level for dogsledding tours or feel free to contact us and we will figure this out together!
During the whole tour we all help out with taking care of the dogs, feeding them, preparing a straw bed for them. As a team we also help with fetching water, firewood, cooking and washing the dishes.
How to dress for dog sledding in Lapland?
We recommend that you dress in several layers, so that you can adjust your clothing to the varying temperature. We will lend you a warm overall, warm boots and mittens. Find more info on: what to wear for a dogsledding tour.
What to pack for your husky tour?
It is important to pack the right things so that you are neither too cold nor too warm. To help you with this, we have put together a complete packing list.
What type of accommodation will we be staying in?
The fist and the last night you will be staying in our fully equipped guesthouse, with shower, sauna and wifi. You will be sharing a room with twin beds.
When out on tour we will be staying in Wilderness cabins, that are of the grid. We heat the cabin with firewood and fetch water in the nearby river and use candlelight. They have one shared room and bunkbeds to sleep in. There is an outside dry toilet.
On our Wilderness Expeditions we will also spend several nights in a tent.
Are meals or accommodations included in the dog sledding tour?
Yes, during all accommodation and meals are included the whole tour including the stay in the guesthouse before and after the sled tour.
Is there an age limit?
Minimum age for our Multi-Day-Tours is 18 years.
The maximum age varies by tour.
But there is also a possibility for a family to book a private tour, where it might be possible for children to drive a team at a younger age. Just get in touch with us and we will find the best way!
What can we do during our layover in Stockholm?
