Set against the expansive northern wilderness surrounding Östersund in Jämtlands län, Sweden, Bohemian Lucky Bastards offers an unforgettable Evening Tour that taps into the true spirit of arctic adventure. This 1.5-hour dog sledding experience carries you silently across snow-blanketed forests and frozen lakes beneath a vast canopy of stars. As you settle into the sled, expertly guided by friendly and enthusiastic huskies, you’ll feel the crisp air sharpen your senses while the rhythm of the dogs’ paws on snow sets a calm but thrilling pace.
The tour’s heart lies in its intimate connection to nature and time-honored Swedish tradition. Midway, guests pause by an open fire to savor a traditional fika—freshly brewed coffee matched with a warm cinnamon bun—stoking both body and soul as the northern night enfolds you. Here, patience and quiet reward you with more than just rest; on lucky evenings, the elusive aurora borealis paints the sky in vibrant greens and purples, a celestial spectacle that stirs awe and reverence.
