IMPORTANT NOTE ON OUR TOURS
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 5 and 8 days tours require 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.
Wilderness Expedition
Get ready for the ultimate dog sledding adventure
Take the trip of a lifetime deep into Lapland’s untouched Vindelfjällens Nature Reserve, the largest nature reserve in Europe. Here, you can drive for days here without meeting another soul. With your guide, World Champion Petter Karlsson, you will see places you can only reach by husky team and learn how to live life in northern Sweden’s wild and majestic nature in this unique and challenging tour.
Petter has lived in this region his whole life, his family has been here for 8 generations and this deep knowledge allows the group to have remarkable freedom to move and explore. There are so many possibilities once you are out as long as the conditions allow – you could cross the entire Vindellfällen Nature Reserve, eventually following the Vindel River all the way to it’s source, you could visit Norway, or how about camping on the arctic circle?
You can expect to really push yourself on this tour, sometimes running as far as 80 km in a single day. You might spend more time in tents or more time in cabins, depending on the conditions and the desires of the group.
