Activity description

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!

So cool! It was just me and the guide so I got to meet the dogs, learn about the process of training them, and meet some puppies too!

It was a beautiful moment, we saw a wonderful landscape pulled by friendly dogs. We had our time to pet them and also the stuff offered us some coffe with cinnamon rolls. We really recommend this experience!

Die Hunde sind sehr aufgeschlossen und werden gut behandelt. Die Natur ist sehr schön und der Weg führt durch Wald und über einen gefrorenen See.

Merveilleux moment passé dans la nature derrière le troupeau de chiens et avec un musher au top !

notre accompagnatrice (musher) française nous a fait découvrir les sensations du traîneau à (12) chiens; ces derniers étaient impatients, rapides (par ex Turbo).

I love the freindly staffs and lovely dogs there. When we were there, it was a sunny day and we saw unbelievable beautiful scenes. I even lost something there and the staffs brought them back to me. Overall, I strongly recommend it.

l'activité était très bien. Nous étions sur une luge poussée par une meute de chien qui n'attendaient que de partir en balade. Paysages féériques. c'était magnifique

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.

Great fun on the sled, whishing though an extremely beautiful landscape of snow-laden trees and over icy lakes. Enjoyed plenty of interaction with the dogs. Simple but nice fika half-way through.

Es ist einfach toll und der Kopf braucht etwas um diese wunderschöne Erfahrung zu verarbeiten. Zuerst lernt man die Hunde und die Guides kennen. Es gibt ausreichend Zeit um mit den Hunden zu kuscheln. Nach der ersten, rasanten Fahrt gibt es eine kleine Pause mit Tee und Kaffee mitten im Wald. Danach geht es durch die atemberaubende Landschaft zurück.

Wunderschön! Die Hundeschlittentour war wunderbar. Wir haben selten sowas schönes erlebt, als in dieser traumhaften Landschaft mit den wundervollen Hunden Schlitten zu fahren. Vor der Schlittenfahrt hatten wir noch Zeit die Hunde genauer kennenzulernen und passende warme Kleidung anzuziehen. Wir sind etwa eine halbe Stunde mit den Hunden durch den Wald gefahren. Danach haben wir in einer gemütlichen Hütte heißen Tee/Kaffee bekommen um uns aufzuwärmen, während die Hunde eine Pause gemacht und neue Energie gesammelt haben. Auch an der Hütte konnten wir in Ruhe die Hunde noch etwas besser kennenlernen und Zeit mit ihnen verbringen. Abschließend ging es durch den Wald wieder zurück zum Startpunkt.

It was a fantastic adventure! We happened to meet 2 other oncoming dog sleds on the narrowest of tracks and that turned the adventure a notch higher. Just be sure to listen to the instructor! The soup over a fika was on time and it was so simple and cosy!

Would be good if they tell in advance that it is also on a 4x4 if it's not enough snow. Not only after booking
