Where Time Slows Down
Money can buy almost anything.
It can buy luxury, comfort and convenience.
But there is one thing money can never buy.
More time.
At Wild Lapland, we believe none of us can change the amount of time we’re given. But we can choose how we spend it—and whether we’re fully present in every moment.
Your journey begins with excitement. The kennel is alive with the eager voices of Alaskan Huskies, each one impatient to run. Everything feels new—the equipment, the dogs and the anticipation of what’s to come.
Then, almost without noticing, everything changes.
The trail opens before you. The voices fade. Your dogs settle into their natural rhythm, and so do you. The only sounds that remain are paws against fresh snow, the runners gliding across the trail and the quiet heartbeat of the Arctic wilderness.
For the next three days, your team of Alaskan Huskies becomes your travelling companions. Together, you’ll journey through silent forests, across frozen lakes and into landscapes few people ever experience. Trust grows with every mile, every climb and every shared moment, until you realise that you are no longer simply travelling with the dogs.
You have become part of the team.
Life in the wilderness is beautifully simple. Days are shaped by daylight, the weather and the rhythm of your huskies rather than by a clock. Meals are shared around the fire, evenings are spent in the warmth of the cabin and tomorrow begins when your eager teammates are ready for another day on the trail.
Outside, the Arctic air is crisp and invigorating. Inside, the fire offers warmth, light and a place to gather. The excitement of the kennel gives way to the stillness of the wilderness. Layer upon layer of winter clothing is exchanged for the comfort of wool socks beside the fire. Here, contrasts become part of the experience, making every moment a little more meaningful.
The greatest journeys are never measured in distance, but in the moments that change us.
This is more than a dog sledding adventure.
It is an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature, build a remarkable partnership with your huskies and discover the quiet rhythm of the Arctic.
When you leave, the wilderness hasn’t changed.
But you might have.
What this journey means to you…
…is yours to discover.
More Info:
-
Three days / Two nights
-
The tour starts at 09:30 on Day 1 and finishes at approximately 14:30 on Day 3.
Please arrive on time and make sure to eat a proper breakfast before the tour begins. The first morning is busy with introductions, clothing, the Dog Sledding Safety Briefing & Instruction, and preparing the husky teams, so there will be limited time for snacks before lunch.
-
Maximum 6 guests.
Keeping our groups small allows us to create a personal experience, provide individual guidance and give everyone the opportunity to build a genuine connection with their own team of Alaskan Huskies.
-
Each guest drives their own team of Alaskan Huskies throughout the journey.
No previous experience is required. Before departure, you’ll receive a comprehensive introduction to dog sledding, including safety procedures, handling your sled, working together with your huskies and what to expect on the trail.
As the journey unfolds, your confidence grows—and so does the partnership with your team.
-
Your safety—and the wellbeing of our huskies—are always our highest priorities.
Our guides have completed advanced wilderness first aid training for both people and dogs, preparing them to respond confidently should an unexpected situation arise in the Arctic environment.
Comprehensive first aid kits are always carried throughout the journey and are readily available both on the guide and in the sled.
Before every departure, all guests receive a thorough Dog Sledding Safety Briefing & Instruction, ensuring everyone feels confident and well prepared before setting off on the trail.
Combined with experienced guides, well-trained huskies and a strong focus on safety, we strive to provide a safe, professional and enjoyable experience for everyone.
As the journey unfolds, your confidence grows—and so does the partnership with your team.
-
You’ll spend two nights in our secluded wilderness cabin, located on a private island in the heart of the Arctic landscape.
The cabin is well insulated and heated by a wood-burning stove, offering a genuine wilderness atmosphere without compromising a good night’s sleep. You’ll sleep in real beds with comfortable duvets and pillows—just like at home or in a hotel—so you can rest well and wake up ready for another day with your husky team.
Here, simplicity and comfort go hand in hand, allowing you to fully enjoy life in the wilderness.
-
All meals are included from lunch on the first day until the late lunch on the final day.
Meals are prepared together over an open fire or in the cabin, creating natural moments to relax, share stories and enjoy life in the wilderness.
Our cuisine reflects the region, the seasons and our philosophy. Whenever possible, we prepare meals using locally sourced ingredients such as moose, reindeer, fish, eggs and other high-quality produce from northern Sweden. Sharing simple, nourishing food from the landscapes we travel through is an important part of the experience.
We are happy to accommodate food allergies and most dietary requirements when informed in advance. However, as our meals are closely connected to our philosophy and the local food traditions of northern Sweden, we are unfortunately unable to offer vegan meals on this tour.
Here, simplicity and comfort go hand in hand, allowing you to fully enjoy life in the wilderness.
-
No two days are ever exactly alike.
Our days are shaped by daylight, weather conditions and the rhythm of our huskies.
Together we’ll travel through forests and across frozen lakes, prepare meals by the fire, care for our dogs and enjoy the quiet pace of Arctic life.
We typically travel around 25–35 km on Days 1 and 3, and approximately 40–50 km on Day 2. However, our days are never defined by a certain number of kilometres. Weather conditions, the wellbeing of our huskies and the enjoyment of the group will always take priority over what the GPS says.
-
The route takes you through pristine forests, frozen lakes and remote wilderness rarely visited by others.
With a little luck, you may spot moose, reindeer, foxes or tracks left by the wildlife that calls this landscape home.
During clear winter nights, the Northern Lights may appear overhead.
As always in nature, these moments can never be guaranteed—but they are always worth hoping for.
-
A normal level of fitness is recommended.
Driving a dog sled requires balance and occasional assistance on hills, but no previous experience is needed.
Your guide will adapt the pace and provide instruction throughout the journey.
-
We provide all necessary winter clothing, including:
- Winter jacket
- Winter bib-pants
- Winter boots
- Warm mittens
- Wool socks
We believe hats are personal, so we kindly ask you to bring your own warm winter hat.
You only need to bring your personal clothing and belongings.
For detailed clothing recommendations, packing advice and a complete packing checklist, please refer to the Wild Lapland Winter Journey Handbook, which you’ll receive after confirming your booking.
-
Mobile phone coverage is available throughout the journey for guests using the Telia network or providers that use the Telia network. Coverage is sufficient to contact emergency services if required.
That said, we warmly encourage you to switch your phone to Airplane Mode during the tour.
Not because you have to—but because we believe the greatest moments in the wilderness happen when we’re fully present. It’s a small choice that often makes a big difference, both for your own experience and for those sharing the journey with you.
Your phone will still be there when you return. The moment you’re living right now won’t.

Winter Journey is designed to be an authentic Arctic wilderness expedition rather than a traditional activity or sightseeing tour.
No previous dog sledding experience is required. Before the expedition begins, you’ll receive thorough instruction in dog sledding, sled handling and safety, and your guide will support you throughout the journey. All you need to bring is curiosity and a willingness to become part of the team.
To get the most out of the experience, we recommend that participants have a reasonable level of fitness and enjoy spending time outdoors. You don’t need to be an athlete, but you should be comfortable being active for several consecutive days in winter conditions.
Working with the dogs is an essential part of the Winter Journey experience.
Throughout the expedition, you’ll take an active role in caring for your own dog team. You’ll learn how to harness and unharness the dogs, prepare them for each day’s journey and care for them at the end of the day. These moments are just as much a part of the adventure as travelling through the wilderness.
Using your hands, your eyes and your time to work alongside the dogs creates a deeper understanding of who they are and how they work together as a team. For many guests, these quiet moments with the dogs become some of the most meaningful memories of the expedition.
Our expeditions take place in a natural environment where weather, snow conditions and the wellbeing of our dogs always determine the day’s decisions. Flexibility is therefore an important part of the adventure, and your guide may adjust the route, pace or daily plans to ensure the safest and best possible experience for both guests and dogs.
Please let us know well in advance if you have any allergies, dietary requirements, medical conditions, injuries or use medication that could affect your participation or require special consideration during the expedition.
Wild Lapland provides the essential Arctic outer clothing and expedition equipment. After booking, you’ll receive our complete Wild Lapland Winter Journey Handbook, including your packing checklist, clothing recommendations, practical travel information and practical advice from your guide to help you prepare for your expedition.
If you have any questions before booking, we’re always happy to help.
