Nordic Winter - Dog Sled Tour

For the adventure holiday of a lifetime, why not find out what it's like to be a "musher" or driver of a dog sledding team in Lapland? On this 6 day arctic adventure, you'll be in charge of a team of Alaskan Husky dogs, sledding across one of Europe's largest Nature Reserves.

Lapland's magical landscape is especially beautiful in early spring. The days are lengthening, the coldest period is over and nature is starting to reawaken. It's not only a great season for dogsledding; it's also the best time to experience the local wildlife. Guided by their tracks in the snow, we'll visit the home of the lynx, golden eagle, arctic fox and wolverine.

Your guide on your dog sledding journey is a former Swedish Champion in dog sledding, with 20 years of experience working and racing with sled dogs. You're in safe hands!
