Arrive into the far north and step straight into Lapland’s winter: at Kiruna Airport a professional wilderness guide meets you, outfits you in warm arctic clothing and introduces a private husky team that will pull you on a wintry sled ride to the kennel, where you’ll meet puppies and enjoy a guided tour before a minibus carries you on to your hotel.

Outing Highlights

THE GREETING

Meet your team at Kiruna Airport

The transfer begins immediately at the airport with a professional wilderness guide who provides warm arctic clothing and introduces a ready husky team poised for the ride to the kennel.

THE RIDE

A private wintry sled ride to the kennel

Outside the airport a private sled team carries 1–4 people per sled on a scenic ride that serves as both transfer and immediate Lapland experience.

THE KENNEL

Kennel visit and puppies

At the kennel you receive a guided tour, meet some of the older puppies and then continue your onward transfer by minibus to your chosen hotel in the Kiruna area.

What the day feels like

What this transfer feels like

It’s a compact, hands-on introduction to Lapland: a brief airport meeting, being kitted out in included winter clothing, a husky-driven sled ride to the kennel, time with the dogs and puppies, then a minibus transfer to your hotel—an experiential airport arrival rather than a standard shuttle.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this transfer suits—and who should consider alternatives.

1
Families with young childrenSuitable: children aged 2 and older are allowed, making this an immediate Lapland experience for families with small kids.
2
Solo travelersPossible but note solo travellers pay the full price and will receive a private ride rather than sharing a sled.
3
Small groups and couplesWell matched: the price is for 1–4 persons sharing a sled, so couples or small groups can share a single sled comfortably.
4
Those needing flexible bookingsPlan ahead: reservations must be made no later than 5:00 PM on the day prior to the trip, so last-minute changes may be difficult.
