Husky Safari
Experience a 5 day dogsledding adventure in Lappland
Get ready for the ultimate winter adventure as we teach you how to care for and drive your own team of Alaskan huskies. The way we work here is quite unique. Every dog in the kennel is either a current hero of the sport of dog mushing or a rising star. Running alongside them are a few senior champions. Between them all, they have won many races as long as 1200 km!
On our Husky Safari we will explore together the beautiful wilderness of Kirjesålandet. Kirjesålandet is part of the Vindelfjällens Nature Reserve, the largest area of untouched natural beauty of its kind in Europe.
Days driving your sled through perfect snowy landscapes, nights in a wilderness cabin, enjoying dinner by the fire and life under the stars, what could be better!

on the sled
Pack the sled and harness the dogs
After a hearty breakfast together we head over to the kennel. With assistance from your guide you will harness your own team and pack your sled.
And then it’s time to hit the trail! Over 30 km of perfect winter trails will be our playground on this first day.
Lunchbreak on the trail
Around lunchtime, we make a stop on the trail for about an hour, where our dogs take a power nap and we enjoy the view with a lunch snack.
Arrival at the cabin
In the afternoon we arrive at our first wilderness cabin, Flottarkoja which sits beside a beautiful stretch of a fast running river. Between the forests and the mountains, with open water all year round. Here everyone helps to feed the dogs, to fetch water, start the fire and carrying our bags inside.
After that we share a traditional evening meal – on the first day that means moose and potatoes fried over a pair of open fires on a traditional outdoor muurikka!
Over the mountain
This day we travel through inspiring mountain landscapes. Along the trail we will see the natural wonders created by the arctic weather, like pine forests covered by so much snow that they look more like giants or trolls than trees. It is easy to see what inspired the ancient stories of the vikings!
This part of Lapland is rarely seen by humans and you can easily get the feeling that you’ve been transported into a fairy tale world.
In the afternoon we arrive at our next cosy wilderness cabin. After the usual dog chores and a hearty dinner guests have the opportunity to unwind in our remote wilderness sauna!
Through the forest
The more time you spend together with the dogs, the better you get to know them and you’ll start to discover their different personalities.
Nature will astound us anew with different views every day. On our last day on the sled we will travel through ancient spruce forest on the way back home to our husky camp in Slussfors.
After some time to wash up and relax it’s dinner time – your guide will serve a delicious meal while we all swap stories and talk about the adventures we shared.
