A dog sledding holiday using Siberian Huskies with accommodation in Husky Lodge and mountain cabin

Dog sledding holidays in Sweden: Jämtland

Dog sledding in the wilderness of Jämtland in north-west Sweden is a wonderful experience. Siberian Husky Dogsled Adventure offers a mix of both comfort and adventure, combining accommodation at the Husky Lodge with dog sledding day-tours in the surrounding forest and mountain landscape. For a taste of real mushing adventure, the experience also includes one overnight up in the winter mountain world with accommodation in wilderness cabin or winter camping.

The dogs used during the tour are Siberian Huskies - sturdy, dependable, powerful dogs ideal suited to dog sledding. Siberian Huskies are born to pull, and they love it! You can see the expectancy and anticipation in their eyes as the team is organised, the wild excitement in their powerful muscles as they strain at the harness ready for the off, and their sheer joy as the brake is released and the team surges forward as one.

You will be driving your own dogsled with your own team of four dogs. Under the tutelage of your expert guide, you will find that you quickly gain confidence in handling your dogsled team and by the end of your experience should be justly proud of your mushing skills. As you become more adept at handling the sled you will earn the trust and the friendship of your sled dogs. On your journeys through the wilderness you will become part of a dog sledding team, but a team with a difference: for you will be the only member on two legs!

Each day you will take a different route, exploring the deep forests and wide mountain plains of Jämtland. Groups are very small - maximum group size is 4-6 persons - so you will have a very personal relationship both with your guide and your dog team. You will be working closely with your dogs and tending to their needs each day, and you should find you make some very special friends during your dog sledding tour in the Swedish wilderness. Lunch will usually be made over open fire out on the trail, returning to the cosy comfort of the Husky Lodge the for dinner in the evening.

Dog sledding can be demanding, but it is not necessary to be exceptionally fit. Some strength is required during when mushing, particularly when braking the sled and assisting the dogs on uphill stretches, but on the whole a willingness to participate fully in the experience, to work with the dogs, to learn their ways and the ways of the sled are more important than brute force. This dog sledding adventure is accessible to most people in good health and of average fitness/strength.

Siberian Husky Dog Sledding Adventure is a flexible experience available both on fixed dates and on custom dates by arrangement between December and April. For custom dates, you can also choose to extend your dog sledding tour in the mountains with an additional overnight in cabin or tent.

Just two persons are required for tours to be added on other dates, making this an ideal dog sledding experience for couples or small groups of friends. Solo travellers are also very welcome to book on scheduled dates.

Your team of Siberian Huskies is waiting - it's time to answer the Call of the Wild!
