Dryland Husky Adventure with Aurora Borealis Adventures in Vindeln

Set amidst the remote wilds of Vindeln in Västerbotten, Sweden, Aurora Borealis Adventures offers a distinctive half-day experience that combines the thrill of working with Siberian huskies and the chance to savor traditional Swedish cuisine.

The journey leads visitors through a Scandinavia landscape characterized by lush conifers and granite outcroppings, with the sounds of paws pounding the earth and the distant call of wildlife adding to the adventure’s authentic feel. After the roughly four-hour ride, the thrill culminates at a cozy Laplander hut, where a hearty outdoor meal waits. Here, you’ll enjoy local delicacies like reindeer or Swedish moose, cooked over an open fire, immersing you fully in the rugged charm of northern Sweden.

This experience shines year-round, offering visitors a chance to connect with Northern Sweden’s natural beauty regardless of season.
