ÖSTERSUND DOGSLED FIELD GUIDE
Under Starlight: A 90‑Minute Dogsled Evening Through Östersund’s Snow
A 1.5-hour evening dogsled tour departing from Bohemian Lucky Bastards that pairs a fireside Swedish fika with the chance to watch the northern lights.
Under Starlight: A 90‑Minute Dogsled Evening Through Östersund’s Snow.
Embark on a quiet, northern-wilderness evening: after a warm welcome and preparation for cold conditions you meet the sled dogs, settle into the sled and glide across frozen lakes and through snow‑covered forests beneath a starlit sky. Midway the trip there’s a pause by an open fire for a traditional Swedish fika, and the tour holds the possibility of seeing the northern lights overhead.
