In Europe's last wilderness, few things can be more awe inspiring than to sit on a Sled pulled through the snow by 12 powerful Alaskan Huskies. In our beautiful winter wonderland you may very well see Reindeer and Moose roaming freely in the wonderful snow covered forests as well as P´tarmigan, Capercaillie and Siberian Jay roaming the skies.
Our experienced guides will introduce you to the dogs and you will have the opportunity to take many wonderful pictures. We stop halfway at our warm wilderness cabin for a 'Fika' and some cookies before returning across expansive and often spectacular frozen lakes.

Respect the dogs’ space
Always listen to guides before approaching or petting the huskies to ensure safety for both visitors and animals.
