Husky Holidays
What could be more satisfying than silently guiding your own team of
loyal huskies through snow covered forests and into the glorious
mountains in Swedish Lapland? The only noise you will hear is the true
silence of nature and the gentle crunching of the snow as the sledge
glides across the white surface. With opportunities to see the Northern
Lights and local wildlife, such as elk and reindeer, make sure you have
extra batteries and your camera is always close at hand! We use some of the most experienced and respected
guides in the region and you will be able to tap into the wealth of
knowledge about survival and life in arctic conditions. You will tell
this story over the dinner table for years to come!
4 day itinerary
Day 1
After
arrival in Kiruna you will be transferred to the Husky Kennels, just 30
mins from the airport. Let this adventure begin as you are introduced to
your eager team of huskies and given full instructions about how to
handle, harness and drive your team. Each night is spent in different comfortable
wilderness cabins, heated with open fires and equipped with a log fired sauna. As the holiday progresses you will get to know the
individual personality of each dog.
Day 2 to 3
As
you head from the frozen lakes into the mountains you witness the change
in terrain. Upon arrival at the camp you take care of the dogs before
settling down to a good evening meal in log cabins. The deep ravines and
birch forests are excellent grounds for the shy native animals.
Travelling high into the mountains with no protection from the forests,
the view becomes more and more impressive. From this distance you may
catch sight of a moose grazing on the willow trees. If time and
conditions allow there may also be a visit to the world famous and
original ICEHOTEL.
Day 4
After breakfast you return to kennels for an emotional farewell and head to ICEHOTEL, Ripan or the airport for a flight to Stockholm or
the UK.
