Three Hours with Alaskan Huskies, Reindeer Soup, and Arctic Silence
A roughly 3-hour guided sleddog outing from Kiruna where you can drive your own team or ride as a passenger and pause for a traditional reindeer-soup lunch—this guide explains what to expect and how to prepare.
Three Hours with Alaskan Huskies, Reindeer Soup, and Arctic Silence.
Embark on a brisk, three-hour journey from Kiruna led by spirited Alaskan Huskies, cutting tracks through snow-draped forests and across frozen rivers and lakes. The Sleddog Lunch tour lets you choose to drive your own sled or relax as a passenger, and includes a lunch break featuring traditional reindeer soup before you head back with the dogs into the low Arctic light.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Spirited Alaskan Huskies
The tour centers on a team of Alaskan Huskies: energetic, trained dogs that pull your sled and set the pace across the winter landscape—whether you choose to drive or be guided along.
Forests, Frozen Rivers and Lakes
Expect a mix of forest tracks and wide, frozen waterways—sections of forest often covered in shining snow and crossings over frozen rivers and lakes form the core of the route.
A Traditional Reindeer Lunch
Midway through the outing the group pauses for a warm local meal: soup with reindeer and vegetables, served as the day’s central break before the return leg.
What the day feels like
What the outing feels like
You’ll be moving with purpose and silence: the breathing of the dogs, the rasp of runners on snow, and long white vistas. Groups either drive their own sled under instruction or ride with guides; a scheduled lunch break of reindeer soup punctuates the outward journey, and the return can carry you off into sunset light as conditions permit.
