Hold on for a wild ride through the morning snow on this exciting dog sledding tour in the beautiful landscapes of Kiruna.

Hold on for a wild ride through the morning snow on this exciting dog sledding tour in the beautiful landscapes of Kiruna. Welcoming adventurers of all ages on this family-friendly excursion!

Kiruna is a city located in the north of Sweden, in the beautiful Lapland region. It is situated just north of the Arctic Circle, offering typical Arctic conditions in the winter including snowy and frozen landscapes. Dog sledding is the perfect activity for discovering remote trails in the wilderness of Kiruna!

The trip begins with pick-up from your accommodation within a 20km radius, or you can make your own way to the base in Kiruna (please specify when booking). An experienced guide will first introduce you to the dogs so you can get to know them and take fun pictures. Next, you will receive a safety briefing and set up the sled. 2-4 people will sit on each sled and be pulled by a dog team driven by the guide.

You will set off on your dog sledding excursion through the crisp morning air. In the European wilderness, few things can be more awe-inspiring than a sled being pulled through the snow by 12 powerful Alaskan Huskies. In Kiruna’s beautiful winter wonderland, you will not only experience the magic of dog sledding but can also catch sight of some reindeer and moose roaming freely. The snow-covered forests and blue skies with capercaillie, Siberian jay, and ptarmigan birds roaming the skies are also a sight to see!

Halfway through the tour, you will stop at a wilderness cabin for a traditional Fika, with coffee, tea, and cookies. As you enjoy your snacks and take in the surroundings, your guide will share stories about the life of a husky musher and information about this breed. On the way back you will pass some spectacular frozen lakes and scenic surroundings. Back at the base, you will say goodbye to your furry friends and return to your pick-up point in Kiruna.

This morning dog sledding excursion is the perfect way to discover the crisp winter wilderness of Swedish Lapland from Kiruna!

The activity was amazing from the minute we arrived. Upon arrival we were greeted in a sweet way, then we got to pet the very friendly dogs and went on to the dog sledding later on. The tour was amazing as we got to see breathtaking scenery and we also stopped for a coffee and snacks, where we also had a very nice and soothing conversation w/ the tour guide. This was a highlight in our holiday to the Arctic.
