Aurora Borealis under Arctic Skies
The core draw is the possibility of seeing the Aurora Borealis while out on the trail — a luminous backdrop to the dogsled experience and night-time photography if the lights appear.
World-class Alaskan Huskies
Runs are powered by Alaskan Huskies; riders can relax, photograph the dogs, and enjoy being pulled through the snow across the Lapland landscape.
Warm Cabin 'Fika' and Cookies
Midway through the outing the group takes a short break for a traditional 'fika'—cookies served in a heated cabin—before heading back under moonlit snow.
