Nordic Winter - Dog Sledding Tour

For a uniquely winter vacation, why not try dogsledding in the mountains of Lapland? You'll learn to drive your own team of Huskies through one of Europe's largest Nature Reserves, enjoying the breathtaking scenery and the infectious enthusiasm of the dogs.

Be prepared for an exhilarating brush with nature and the elements! At this time of year the wilderness is at its most peaceful but rapid changes of weather are common. Darkness falls early, so you might even be treated to Lapland's amazing natural light show - the northern lights

Your tour guide is a former Swedish Champion in long distance with sleddogs, Per Berglund. He has 20 years of experience working with sleddogs and racing so you're in safe hands!
