Vast, wind‑sculpted forests and frozen lakes frame a tightly paced three‑day itinerary in Sweden’s Lappish interior: you’ll drive your own dog team, learn to ice‑fish from a snowmobile, meet Sami reindeer handlers and sleep in rustic wilderness cabins — all while local food and transfers from and to Kiruna airport are handled by the operator.

THE LANDSCAPE

Aurora and the Surreal Lappish Interior

Evenings at secluded wilderness cabins give you a chance to watch the Aurora Borealis over stark, snowbound terrain; local cuisine and the cabins’ remote settings are part of the trip’s atmosphere.

THE ROUTE

Overnight Dogsledding — Be a Musher

Across the three days you’ll drive your own dog team with guidance from the operators, learn to care for the dogs, and finish each day in an authentic wilderness cabin.

THE ACTIVITIES

Snowmobiles, Ice Fishing and Sami Encounters

The program pairs a snowmobile day with ice fishing and includes a Sami reindeer visit plus an Icehotel stop — a concentrated slate of quintessential Lapland experiences.

What the day feels like

What the three days feel like

From pickup at Kiruna airport you are issued winter gear and briefed before heading into the interior. Days alternate between active stints — driving your dog team, snowmobiling out to fishing holes, visiting reindeer and the Icehotel — and evenings spent warming up in remote cabins, with all food, lodging, activities and local transfers included.
