Winter Holidays (Sweden, Finland & Norway)

"The trip gave all of us what we had hoped for, especially the working with, interacting with and caring for the dogs. It gave us the opportunity to work together as a team in a moderately challenging environment. The guide was outstanding - patient and had a wealth of knowledge about the dogs which demonstrated he genuinely cared for them. The scenery was stunning. We had northern lights on the first night, snow and sunshine."

Clem, Dog Sledding and Northern Lights in Vindelfjällen, April 2026

"Thanks for everything. It was the trip of a lifetime! Pre-departure information was very thorough. It was a fantastic family adventure. All the kids learned to drive the sleds and the guides were excellent with them, involving them in all aspects. [We chose Nature Travels because] we were specifically looking for an expedition we could do with our 9-year-old and most were 16+ for dog sledding."

Anna, Experience Dog Sledding in Finnmark, April 2026

"The whole trip was excellent, locations, accommodation facilities. The experiences with the local hosts and the staff in both locations really enhanced the trip."

Katy, Discover Cross Country Skiing in Rondane, April 2026

"The whole trip was authentic, it didn't feel touristy and the days spent with Hendrik and Anna learning about the Sámi and dog / reindeer sledding was inspiring. We were welcomed into their home rather than visiting a tourist site. It was the most amazing week in the most beautiful place and our family all agreed it was the best trip ever. We loved learning new skills, spending time in nature and being in a small group setting."

Jenny, Northern Lights Multi-activity Adventure in Lapland, March 2026

"A new and different experience for us (me and my son) in so many ways. Never before been on back/crosscountry skis (not easy despite being competent alpine skiers), pulled a sledge/pulk, been to Scandinavia/Finland, been to the Arctic, been multi-day trekking, stayed in a hut, or slept in a tent in winter. Fantastic guide and great group of people - not one complaint from anyone the whole week! Definitely a challenge, but no regrets and lots of good memories!"

Ted, Backcountry Skiing and Northern Lights in Finnish Lapland, Halti tour March 2026

"Everything was amazing, the activities were diverse and interesting, food was really good, the guides were really cool, we learnt a lot. The trip was amazing, thank you very much for all the organisation."

Yoann, Northern Lights Multi-activity Adventure in Lapland, March 2026

"Brilliant trip, thank you! Everything was perfect. Definitely keen for a future Nordics trip! Thank you for the ongoing support throughout the booking process and during the run-up to the trip."

Katie, Aurora Winter Do-It-All Week, March 2026

"Experiencing the nature and wildlife of Finland was the highlight. We both had a lovely time - especially Paul - he was sung Happy Birthday in 4 languages! Definitely a good way to remember his 60th!!"

Tanya, Cross Country Skiing in Hossa and Kalevala, March 2026

"I would recommend to anyone to go dog sledding with Nature Travels. A big, massive thank you to our local hosts for providing the best experience with dogs and their hospitality with amazing food. All the dogs were the happiest, good-natured dogs that I have ever met. This is obviously due to the hosts and their love and care for all their dogs. I liked the small group size, wilderness factor and the attention to detail of the experience."

Karen, Discover Dog Sledding in Jämtland, March 2026

"Our guide was very good. She knows a lot about outdoor life and animals. She gave us all the necessary instruction about equipment and skiing technique. She was a very caring person for everyone in our group. She's a very easy-going person, with a very good sense of humour, we could laugh a lot. She brought a lot of food and snacks for all of us and made sure we had enough drinking water."

Barbara, Ski and Wild Camp in South Lapland, March 2026

"Great service and wonderful hosting at the Lodge. Felt very personal, really enjoyable experiences. The local team were great."

David, Learn to Backcountry Ski in Rondane, March 2026

"Fantastic and knowledgeable tour guide. Thanks to Nature Travels for organising."

David, Ski and Wild Camp in South Lapland, March 2026

"This was my 5th or 6th trip with Nature Travels. Always well organised, always in stunning areas. It was great to have so much snow. Staying in a hotel was nice, it gives you a different holiday experience. However, I would have had an equally nice holiday if I had chosen the cabin option. Taking the train from Helsinki to Oulu was a lot of fun and enhanced the whole holiday experience. It was also significantly cheaper than flying."

Heike, Snowshoeing in the National Parks of Southern Lapland, March 2026

"For me it was lovely. Lucky to see the Northern Lights. Some lovely sunny weather and misty winter wonderland days too. Guides were friendly, knowledgeable, kind, helpful and hospitable. Plenty of food provided. Pre-departure, there was plenty of information, packing advice, etc, and I was able to call with any questions, so a thorough and personal service, thank you."

Alison, Snowshoeing in the National Parks of Southern Lapland, March 2026

"We had a truly fantastic holiday - loved the wilderness and relatively few people. Many thanks indeed. Excellent hosts and we had a fabulous time. Travel information was very helpful."

Lindsay, Husky, Ski and Snowshoe Week in Southern Lapland, March 2026

"It was perfect. The landscapes were great, the guides were very helpful and kind, the food was great too."

Jeanne, Experience Dog Sledding in Finnmark, March 2026

"We had a great holiday, thank you. The location of Smuksjøseter was absolutely amazing, we loved being away from civilisation but having all mod cons in the hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed skiing in such wonderful scenery."

Eric, Discover Cross Country Skiing in Rondane, March 2026

"Another brilliant trip with Nature Travels. Thank you! Pre-departure service was all excellent. Highlights were bumping along to the first lodge in the snowmobile, miles and miles of glorious, wild and peaceful tracks, amazing views, good climbs and long winding descents to ski, comfortable accommodation, lovely warm people, great food and loved the two-centre nature of the trip. It was perfect for us."

Serena, Discover Cross Country Skiing in Rondane, March 2026

"Great cultural experience as well as cross-country skiing. Particularly our stay with Helena, local farm. Amazing home-cooked food. Helena shared stories on the culture, history etc. Guide and assistant guide super kind, helpful, supportive and super interesting people. Could not do enough for all of us."

Ciara, Cross Country Skiing in Hossa and Kalevala, March 2026

"We had a great time in Norway. We thought that the Lodge was a lovely place to stay, with our hosts and their team very welcoming and helpful. The food was excellent. We really enjoyed the two-day trip to Eldabu hut. We did about 14km each day, which was challenging but not impossible, so just what we hoped for. Our guide was excellent and great company. Thanks for arranging the trip for us."

Michael, Learn to Backcountry Ski in Rondane, March 2026

"The best part was the immersive experience provided by Bodil and her team. I couldn't recommend it enough. The response times to emails and questions was really quick so gave me confidence in your company."

Robert, Go Dog Sledding in Trøndelag, March 2026

"Just wanted to let you know that the dogsled adventure was fantastic - it was a bit more physical than we expected, but the guides and dogs were great. We were also well looked-after foodwise and the accommodation was cosy. The scenery was stunning. We even managed to see the northern lights on our last evening, which was an extra treat. Overall, it was an excellent experience."

Nathan, Northern Lights Dogsled Adventure in Lapland, March 2026

"We've been on a few trips with Nature Travels now, and they've all been fantastic!Getting to skate on the sea ice was very special! Seeing an icebreaker ship come along a shipping lane through the ice was also an incredible moment, and listening to the ice 'sing' as the temperature changed throughout the day. Having never skated on touring skates at all before this trip it was amazing to be able to do some proper days out with the medium-paced group during the trip. We definitely learnt a lot in very short space of time! We're looking forward to more future adventures with Nature Travels."

Sarah, Ice Skating on Natural Ice, February 2026

"My husband and I loved everything about this trip from the small numbers, to our wonderful guide, to the gorgeous landscapes! But, the best part was the final day when we stayed at Arola Farm and met Helena! You offered exactly what we were looking for regarding length of ski routes, location, and rustic settings. Bob was super helpful! I loved that he had been on the trip I was considering and able to answer all of my questions about it."

Jeanne, Cross Country Skiing in Hossa and Kalevala, February 2026

"We had the best time. Our hosts were lovely, so welcoming. The whole experience was great."

Candida, Discover Dog Sledding in Jämtland, February 2026

"It was all fantastic - absolutely stunning scenery, great husky kennels and guide/host. The lodge we stayed in was lovely. My youngest daughter (age 20) came with me this time and really enjoyed it, having never done anything like it before."

Chris, Husky Sledding and Northern Lights on the Finnmark Plateau, February 2026

"Thank you for the lovely holiday. It was very special. The best part was driving the sleds and huskies across the barren wilderness of Northern Norway. We found our local hosts to be so helpful and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. One of the things that encouraged us to make the booking was that they were happy to accommodate our 11- and 12-year-old grandchildren. We really appreciated that they were encouraged to have a go and that they certainly did. It helped to make the holiday even better for them. I think everyone loved working with the dogs and we all helped with feeding, harnessing ,etc, and got all the more out of the holiday for the experience."

Robert and family, Experience Dog Sledding in Finnmark, February 2026

"Our local host was excellent - a lovely, friendly very knowledegable and very helpful person. The husky trip was an absolute highlight. The huskies, our guide, the hut and interaction with the huskies was brilliant. My third time with Nature Travels and it has always been very good."

Anna, Husky, Ski and Snowshoe Week in Southern Lapland, February 2026

"It was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, our hosts went above and beyond in every possible way. Their warmth and genuine friendliness made us feel completely at home. As parents, what stood out deeply was the patience and kindness they showed towards our children. They made them feel included, valued, and excited about every part of the experience."

Luke and Katie, Winter Wonderland with the Locals, February 2026

"Our hosts were excellent and knowledgeable. The trips were wonderful and the cabin very comfortable with everything we needed. I recommend others to book and enjoy the beauty of Finland with wonderful hosts and guides."

Christine, Snowshoeing in the National Parks of Southern Lapland, February 2026

"The best part was meeting the dogs. They were all so well trained. The accommodation was very comfortable. The guide was amazing!"

Nicola, Dog Sledding and Northern Lights in Vindelfjällen, February 2026

"Great weather and Formokampen day with Anette, who was great company. Everyone at Smuksjøseter was very friendly and professional. Food and overall welcoming atmosphere at Puttenseter was excellent. Loved the "Beltbil" transfer from Høvringen to Smuksjøseter."

Stuart, Discover Cross Country Skiing in Rondane, February 2026

"I had a wonderful experience and truly enjoyed the trip. It was a very special time, and I am still thinking about many moments from it. Thank you aain for the great organisation. I can definitely imagine travelling to the Nordic countries again in the future!"

Alasdair, Hut to Hut Aurora Husky Safari in Lapland, February 2026

"The highlights were skiing through boreal forest, making our own tracks in cracking weather with no sight or sound of anyone else and of course the sauna."

John, Backcountry Skiing and Northern Lights in Finnish Lapland, Lemmenjoki tour February 2026

"I am recommending this tour to everyone I know. The highlights were the guide, who was very knowledgeable, caring, and experienced; the luck we had in being able to skate in the moonlight, thanks to perfect conditions and the guide's hard work and willingness to facilitate this and the very wonderful accommodation."

Ahi, Ice Skating on Natural Ice, February 2026

"I was very happy to be outdoors the entire day among friendly people. Our guides were always friendly, helpful, flexible and patient."

Bozena, Ice Skating on Natural Ice, February 2026

Cordelia, Learn to Backcountry Ski in Rondane, January 2026

"It was absolutely fantastic and unbelievable!! The scenery was incredible, the dogs were amazing, the guides and local hosts were so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Crossing the Finnmark plateau via dogsled was absolutely incredible!! Toasting sandwiches in the snow-covered woods was an experience I'll never forget! The cabins at the kennels were beautiful. The Northern Lights were stunning!!! Loved every minute, thanks for all your help, it really is appreciated! A great experience all round!"

Tom, Aurora Husky Safari in Finnmark, January 2026

"My god what an amazing time we had! The dogs were so friendly, lovable and hard-working and our guide was just an amazing man. We ate some brilliant food and enjoyed the most well-deserved sauna I've ever had. And we saw the Northern Lights! Truly an amazing adventure in an extraordinary landscape and I can't recommend it highly enough. Thank you for organising everything so brilliantly."

Chris and Debs, Husky Sledding and Northern Lights on the Finnmark Plateau, January 2026

Louise, Wilderness Lodge and Husky Sledding in Swedish Lapland, January 2026

"I can not think of anything that would have made it better. Loved helping with the dogs and having time to talk at leisure with the guides. You covered all we needed to know and were very responsive to the additional questions I asked. You offered a trip that I felt offered good value for money."

Jen, Wilderness Lodge and Husky Sledding in Swedish Lapland, January 2026

"In short, it was an amazing, amazing trip! You could not want for better people than our hosts: lovely people who took fantastic care of us, making sure we were properly equipped, properly prepared and that the experience delivered all we had hoped for and more. The facilities and equipment were excellent, the dogs were beautiful, the landscapes amazing, the food superb...It was fantastic."

Bronwen, Aurora Husky Adventure in Finnmark, January 2026

"The whole experience was great. Being hands on with the dogs, being in a landscape and temperatures that we have never seen or felt before, learning about how people live in far north of Norway, eating locally cooked food, doing an activity that was physically challenging to just the right level. It was all the best."

Julianne, Experience Dog Sledding in Finnmark, New Year tour 2025/26

"It was great and the guide was brilliant! She pushed me to the right level."

Lucy, Backcountry Skiing and Northern Lights in Finnish Lapland, Lemmenjoki New Year tour 2025/26

"All in all, I feel this experience was unique, and I came back from it wishing to have more similar adventures like this in the future. Our guide was awesome company. Lastly, the dogs! I did have my favourites and my dog sledding team was awesome! I miss them terribly, as they were incredibly friendly, eager and hard working. Interacting with them was so much fun!"

Connor, Northern Lights Dogsled Adventure in Lapland, December 2025

"We had a really enjoyable time and will remember this as one of our best adventure trips. We had a wonderful experience and enjoyed it a lot. This was an authentic experience with a higher depth into the world of dog sledding and mushing, compared to what we experienced before. We learned a lot of new things and learned about what was going on behind the scenes. Thank you again for your flexibility for planning this trip."

Moshen, Northern Lights Dogsled Adventure in Lapland, December 2025
