Bohemian Lucky Bastards is a dog-sledding operator based in Östersund, Jämtlands län, offering guided winter tours that showcase the region's snow-covered forests and frozen lakes. The company runs three distinct experiences—Morning Tour, Midday Tour, and Evening Tour—each guided and designed for small groups. Tours include time on a dog sled, routes through northern Swedish wilderness, and a traditional Swedish fika break beside an open fire featuring coffee and cinnamon buns.
The Morning Tour focuses on serene daylight runs across quiet trails and rivers, ideal for guests who want bright winter scenery. The Midday Tour provides a balanced outing with sledding, nature views, and a fika pause during pale winter light. The Evening Tour operates after dusk, offering travel under the stars and the possibility to see the northern lights where conditions allow.
Staff and guides handle sleds and dogs during each outing, ensuring safety and guidance for participants. Equipment and instructions are provided on-site; guests are advised to dress for cold weather. Tours depart from Östersund and explore nearby wilderness areas within Jämtlands län.
Bohemian Lucky Bastards emphasizes authentic outdoor experiences rooted in local tradition, including the Swedish fika custom. The operator's focus on guided dog sledding, clear trip descriptions, and on-route breaks by open fires make the tours suitable for adults and older children who can participate in cold-weather outdoor activities.
