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 a complete overview of recommended clothing and personal items, please see our What to Bring list below.
-
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.

Good clothes!
Underwear in wool is the best. Wool keeps you warm even if it gets wet, cotton doesn’t. It can be good to bring an extra pair of long johns and a long sleeve t-shirt to make sure you have dry clothes when you go to sleep.
Many thin layers are always better than one thick one.
Wool socks, preferably double pairs and an extra to switch in case you get wet.
A nice warm hat, one thinner and one warmer can be good since the weather could be changing quickly.
Smaller liner gloves to have inside bigger mittens.
Finger gloves to use when we are working with the dogs.
Scarf to protect your face against wind.
Sunglasses.
Sunscreen! The sun is really burning and all the white snow reflects it so it’s really strong.
Extra snacks or candy that you want during the tour.
Toothbrush and other hygiene articles that you need.
Bring extra batteries to the camera, they run out quickly if it’s cold. It is good to keep them near your body to keep them warm.
Tripod if you want to try night photography.
Do not use skin cream or make up, they are usually water based and then they can create frostbites on your skin. If you really want to use something make sure it’s fat based and use it in the evening during the night.
The best way to stay warm outside is to move around. If it is really cold it’s important that you move and keep active. To keep your feet warm you need to have a lot of air in the shoes and have room to move your toes. Rather choose a bigger pair of shoes than the one that fits perfectly.
We need to know if you have any sickness or allergies in good time before the tour. Or if you use any medicines. This is a safety rule in case something happens. And also if you need any special food.
Local cuisine up here in the north normally consists of various meat, mostly game meat like capercaillie, and moose but also reindeer and of course fish like trout or arctic char.
