THE SKY

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.

THE TEAM

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.

THE WARMTH

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.

What the day feels like

What the evening feels like

The tour unfolds as a compact evening adventure: picked up at the scheduled start time, you head out with a team of huskies across glittering snow, pause for a warm cabin 'fika' with cookies, then return along the trail beneath moonlight and — if you’re lucky — the dancing aurora.
