A challenging but accessible wilderness dog sledding adventure in the Lapland mountains

Husky holidays in Sweden: Lapland

The mountains of Swedish Lapland are a spectacular area for dog sledding. The majestic landscape provides the ideal backdrop for a real dog sledding adventure. Husky Mountain Expedition in Lapland is an 8-day extended tour taking you through some of Sweden's most beautiful natural landscapes, including into the shadow of the mighty Kebnekaise, Sweden's highest mountain.

From your base at the wilderness camp, you will learn how to handle the sled and dogs before heading out into the wilderness in command of your own team of Siberian Huskies. The first stages of the tour take you over frozen rivers and lakes along the Torneträsk, before climbing into the true Lapland mountain landscape at Abisko. From here, you will follow the world-famous Kungsleden, or King's Trail, up into the mountains. The King's Trail is one of Sweden's best-known long-distance hiking trails in summer and is also ideal for dog sledding and ski touring in the winter. Each night you will stop at one of the cabins along the way, which offer accommodation of simple but comfortable and cosy standard. After seeing to the needs of the dogs each evening, perhaps making snow walls to protect them from the mountain winds during the night, you will retire to the warmth of the cabins for dinner and a chance to reflect on the day's dog sledding adventures.

You will find that you quickly gain confidence in handling the sled as your mushing skills develop. You will be working very closely with your team of Siberian Huskies as you journey through the wilderness together, and should find that you have made some firm friends by the end of your time in the mountains.

Husky Mountain Expedition in Lapland is a tremendously exciting dog sledding adventure. It is a challenging but immensely rewarding experience to mush your own dogsled team through the Swedish winter landscape. Despite being a mountain dog sledding expedition, the tour is accessible to anyone with a general good level of health and fitness who loves the outdoors and the unique beauty of the winter mountain world.
