Adventure brief
Sled Quietly into Lapland, Then Warm Up Over a Bonfire Lunch
Experience the serene beauty of Lapland’s wilderness on a small-group husky sledge tour that deliberately makes its own tracks away from snowmobile routes and tourist lanes; after the run you refuel with a wholesome, freshly prepared meal served either at the bonfire or inside the main house.
Venture into the heart of Lapland’s pristine wilderness with Husky Dreams’ Lunch Tour, a 3-hour adventure leaving the well-trodden trails behind. Located near Kiruna, Sweden, this experience invites travelers to carve their own path through snow-covered forests and open landscapes, far away from snowmobile noise and tourist crowds. Guided by an expert musher, you’ll ride in the front part of a dog-pulled sledge, granting unobstructed views and plenty of photo opportunities as you glide silently across 10 to 15 kilometers of untouched countryside.
Kiruna, the closest city, lies above the Arctic Circle and is a gateway to some of the most spectacular winter landscapes Europe offers. The Lunch Tour operates from the Husky Dreams kennel, where the focus is on a truly immersive, peaceful nature experience showcasing Lapland’s unique subarctic ecosystem. Along your route, you’ll pass frosted pine forests and frozen lakes, keeping an eye out for native wildlife like reindeer and perhaps the elusive Arctic fox.
What sets this tour apart is its emphasis on solitude and authenticity. Unlike other sledding trips congested with multiple snowmobiles, this journey prioritizes silence and connection with the landscape. After the thrilling ride, cozy up by a crackling bonfire or retreat to the main house for a nourishing homemade meal to warm your spirits, savoring the crisp Arctic air and the quiet that only this remote wilderness can offer.
The tour includes dog harnessing and a briefing, ensuring guests engage directly with the huskies and understand the intricacies of sledding. Maximum group size is 10, retaining an intimate atmosphere. Transfers from Kiruna center can be arranged for small groups, making it accessible to travelers without their own transportation.
This adventure is ideal for visitors drawn to eco-friendly, small-group tours with moderate physical demands—the experience requires no prior sledding skills but rewards curiosity and a sense of adventure.
Whether you’re a keen photographer capturing the low Arctic sun’s golden glow or a nature lover spotting winter wildlife, the Lunch Tour offers a rare chance to experience Lapland’s magic up close. From the intricate paw prints in fresh snow to the huskies’ eager energy, every moment tells a story of the far north. Booking this trip means stepping away from the familiar and into a quieter, wild world that feels both timeless and profoundly alive.
