Overnight Husky Tours

One of our most popular Lapland activities. You will be collected from your hotel for the short transfer to the husky kennels. Meet your own team of 3 or 4 huskies for the following 20 hrs (approx) of wilderness adventure. You will be provided with warm clothing and brief instructions about how to guide your team of huskies through the ancient snow covered forests of Swedish Lapland. A stop en route to the wilderness cabin includes a hot cup of coffee and a traditional Swedish pastry or sandwich.
This is a genuine wilderness experience in Swedish Lapland. The wilderness cabin usually used on this tour is basic yet comfortable. There is no electricity and water is sourced from the frozen lake just 100m from the cabin. There is a comfortable lounge / dining area and the bedroom has bunk beds. The cabin is heated by a real log fire and you can relax in the wood fired sauna while your guide prepares your evening meal over a hot stove. Don’t forget to keep your eyes on the night sky for the Northern Lights!
On this tour you will drive your own team or 3 or 4 huskies. As the huskies may sometimes be injured, it may be necessary for you to sit 2 per sled and take it in turns to drive. In our opinion this is an excellent alternative as you can talk to each other as you jointly admire the scenery.
Price from £373pp.
