The magic happens.

AND THE NORTHERN LIGHTS START DANCING IN THE SKY ABOVE.

AROUND A BONFIRE

WE LIKE TO SHARE OUR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE LOCAL CULTURE AND HOW PAST GENERATIONS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE SURVIVED IN THE NORTH.

We are a small family owned company based in a remote area about 15 km south of Kiruna town. Life revolves around our 40 Huskies. Typically when you arrive at the yard you see our dogs running free and happy to greet you. Our Dogs are family! They are well taken care of all year around from puppy paws on, as eager athletes, until their well-deserved retirement.

We offer a variation of responsible nature tours from shorter trips to overnight stays. Being the only tour operator in the tiny village Kalixforsbron, by the river Kalix makes our tours especially unique.

We generally keep a small tour size of 2 to 8 participants.

Join us through Swedish Lapland’s pure nature with our dog sleds or snowshoes for a sustainable and tranquil journey in an area with little tourism and snowmobile traffic. As a team we face arctic winters in all its facets. From harsh conditions such as heavy snowfall, wind and temperatures below -30 degrees Celsius to the ideal winter wonderland.

Learn about the culture and history of the area, and find animal tracks in the snow, while looking out for local wildlife. Allow us to teach you survival techniques like how to build an igloo, catch fish deep under the ice and find dry firewood in the snowy forest.

Be enchanted by the magnificence of the North and make lasting memories.

The dogs are part of my family. My “retired” dogs get as much care as my “working” dogs and have a place in our home until the end of their life. We are not a husky farm, we are a home with huskies! Discover our dogs >

We stayed at the Ice Hotel but booked this tour separate as it was cheaper and so glad we did as the staff (in particular Theo our guide) were amazingly informative and friendly and the dogs are so well looked after and well behaved.

Because of the wheather we had to take the cart instead of the sled. But it really was awesome to be out in the nature with the carts and the dogs running in front of you. It was a real adventure and so much fun. The dogs were super cute and you could cuddle, harness, unharness and feed them. We had a great guide, a little fika and could cuttle also the small dogs. All in all it really was a perfect day for us and we would love to come back one day. Thank you for everything and please go ahead with your work. read less

We had a delicious soup and Swedish bread and cheese. We then went snowshoe walking and our guide talked us through the wild life which was very informative. A brilliant trip and one to be recommended!!! read less

We have been talking about the dogs along the way and since it was such a beatiful day it was a very pleasent trip. When we get there we met our guide - Hannah - which explained how to drive the sled. Then we started and she led us through this awesome ride. The track was very diverse so we could experience different scenarios in the nature along the way. At the end of the ride we sit around the fire and sipped tea and ate cinnamon rolls while the staff shared more about the dog sleading world (btw, Hannah has very good suggestions for dog names haha). Then we visited the puppies :) Since we're the only ones in the transfer back to Kiruna, the driver left us in our hotel instead of our drop off point - which was very cool of him. In summary it was a great afternoon - one of the highlights our trip to Kiruna. I strongly recoomend it. read less

Feel like Gaynor is a familiar face?

You may have seen her and Milos on TV! Gaynor featured on Ben Fogles ‘Lives in the Wild’, Channel 5, Series 3, episode 4 back in 2014.

Back then Gaynor and Milos were living a slightly different life! so don’t fear as you won’t be subject to outdoor toilets and no showers. Since the program aired the luxury guest lodge has been built.

Read more about Gaynor’s dynamic change of life style  here  in an interview she did with The Times online in 2016.

🐕‍🦺 The 5 Best Sweden Dog Sled Tours From Kiruna [2024 Reviews]

Kiruna is a magical place known for its neverending, untamed natural beauty with everything from the Northern lights to ore mines.

However, one of my favorite activities in the area was undoubtedly going on a dog sled tour! I didn’t even know this kind of tour existed, but I’m sure glad that I had the opportunity to try it!

I’ve gone ahead and selected the top sled dog tours from Kiruna, so you know which ones will actually be worth your time and money. Let’s jump right in!

Best Kiruna Dog Sledding Tours

Quick answer: the 5 best dog sled tours from kiruna for 2024.

• Dog Sledding Excursion to Kiruna with Fika
• Husky Tour Sit and Drive Combo Tour from Kiruna
• Sit Down Husky Ride Dog Sled Tour in Kiruna
• Kiruna: Guided Afternoon Drive Your Own Dog Sled Tour
• Dogsled Adventure Kiruna

Kiruna Dog Sled Tour Reviews

1.  dog sledding excursion to kiruna with fika.

• Duration:  7 hours
• Departure:  Hotel pickup and drop-off included
• Departure Time:  9:00 AM
• Includes:  Pickup and drop-off from hotel to dogsledding, warm overalls, winter boots, hats, gloves, warm drinks, cinnamon buns

I absolutely love this first tour, as it’s the most comprehensive of its kind – a definite must-see if it’s your first time in the region! The Dog Sledding Excursion to Kiruna with Fika Tour  lasts 7 hours, but includes a convenient hotel pickup and drop-off which makes things much easier.

From enjoying delicious Swedish treats to hanging out with the fluffy arctic dogs, this tour is filled with fun and adventure!

Right from the beginning of the tour, all of the staff members had a fantastic attitude and were very patient and friendly with everyone.

We got the chance to meet up with the dogs before actually going on the dog sledding adventure, which made everyone feel more comfortable. Not to mention, being able to pet and cuddle with these beautiful pups was something that I probably would’ve paid for, alone!

During the dog sledding portion, each group of 4 had a musher who will actually drive the sled to ensure everyone is safe and having a good time.

While we zoomed over the perfect white snow, we were able to just sit back and enjoy the view while taking plenty of photos and videos! About halfway through the ride, we made a stop where we made a crackling fire and took a break to chat and cover what we’d seen so far.

They served us plenty of hot coffee, hot chocolate, and tea, along with some soft, steaming cinnamon rolls to fuel up for the rest of the adventure!

Thanks to the provided overalls, winter boots, hats, gloves, and so on, all of us were nice and comfortable throughout the tour and were able to focus on the amazing experience. If you’re looking for a more complete tour, this is definitely one you should put at the top of your list!

More Information & Tour Booking

100% refund for cancellations within 24 hours of tour experience, 2. husky tour sit and drive combo tour from kiruna.

• Duration:  4 hours
• Departure:  Svappavaara, 980 20 Svappavaara
• Departure Time: 12:50 PM
• Includes:  All taxes, fees and handling charges, All activities, Driver/guide, Pickup and drop-off from designated meeting points, Snacks, Coffee and/or Tea

As I was able to soon find out, the vast majority of husky sled tours have the participants ride behind the huskies while the mushers take the controls.

However, with the  Husky Tour Sit and Drive Combo Tour from Kiruna , you get something completely different. This tour involves operating a 2-person sled, so you and your partner in crime can zoom across the beautiful snow-covered scenery with just the dogs!

Our tour started out with us meeting at our predesignated spot, with our guide answering our questions and providing a comprehensive briefing beforehand.

We then got the chance to head to the dog kennels, where we met each of the furry friends and got the chance to get to know them better. After receiving instructions, we were able to then set off on our own through the fells and plains with the eager dogs taking us everywhere!

Honestly, I had a fantastic time learning how to drive the sled, and the approximately 2-hour sled ride almost made it feel like I was in a dream.

We then came back to the kennel, where we were able to help feed these powerful guys and spend a bit more time with them. We then got some time to rest ourselves, and I was surprised at just how tired we actually were, considering that we weren’t the ones running all over the arctic!

We were able to make a fire and warm up with some hot coffee and cake, which I felt was the perfect follow-up to the snowy adventure.

We chatted with our guides, asking them plenty of questions about the dogs and the history of dog sledding, which only enriched our tour more. If you have the chance, please don’t pass this opportunity up!

3. Sit Down Husky Ride Dog Sled Tour in Kiruna

• Duration:  2.5 hours
• Departure:  Hotel pickup and drop-off available
• Departure Time: 9:30 AM
• Includes:  Coffee and/or Tea, Snacks, Arctic outerwear provided, Pickup and drop-off from designated meeting points, English speaking driver/guide, All Fees and Taxes

If you’re traveling with a group of people or the entire family, I cannot recommend this tour enough! The Sit Down Husky Ride Dog Sled Tour in Kiruna  is another great option if you have a packed itinerary and want a fun yet somewhat short tour to partake in.

It may be just 2.5 hours long, but it packs in a ton of fun, adventure, education, and something different from anything else in Kiruna!

I was surprised at the fact that they actually offered to pick us up right from our hotel, considering that’s usually only the case with longer tours.

Despite that, they came right to our hotel lobby and had a friendly guide there waiting for us. Once we arrived to the sledding center, we were able to receive a briefing and have all of our questions answered before going to meet the huskies!

Each sled seats 2 adults and 3 kids or 4 adults, depending on the configuration of your group. I enjoyed this, as you and your group all get to stick together and experience everything together which makes everything that much more fun.

They even let us borrow winter gear like coats, gloves, hats, etcetera, to ensure we were all comfortable and able to focus on the sledding tour.

Once we all got situated in the sleds, the huskies zoomed off and had us racing through the dense forests, over frozen lakes, plenty of snow, and everything in-between!

At around the halfway point, we took a break where we were able to enjoy some hot coffee and tea along with cake at the Lavvu (tipi tent). We got to cuddle and rub the huskies’ tummies before setting off back to the starting point and got some amazing photos along the way!

4. Kiruna: Guided Afternoon Drive Your Own Dog Sled Tour

• Departure Time:  2:15 PM
• Includes:  Snowsuit, winter boots, gloves, hats, and socks,  Guided dog sledding tour,  Swedish Fika with cookies, tea, coffee

The Swedish Lapland is one of the most beautiful places in the world, though it may not be as widely-known as perhaps more opulent metropolises. While there are many ways to experience it, I insist that seeing it by dog sled is perhaps the most magical.

The Kiruna: Guided Afternoon Drive Your Own Dog Sled Tour is one of my favorites, making for a great date night or group experience!

Limited to just 8 participants, this is definitely an intimate tour where you really get to know your guide and the huskies who will be hauling you over the fresh snowy landscapes!

The tour starts by the guides picking you up right from your hotel, so there’s no need to book separate transportation or worrying about how you’re going to get to the sledding offices. When we arrived, we got to meet all of the dogs and learn how to handle them before setting off.

I had no idea that this was one of the most sustainable, oldest forms of transportation, and it was cool learning about the sport’s history before setting off.

I was in awe at just how powerful the dogs were, and how in sync they all were working together. The arctic wilderness was equally as impressive, and I got some amazing shots along the Kalix River of the seemingly untouched, fresh snow blanketing the area.

Around the halfway point, we took a break where we sat around a warm fire in a Nordic tent, which was pretty cool! I learned that this is called a “Fika” which is in layman’s terms a “coffee break”.

We did enjoy plenty of hot coffee, as well as some Swedish cookies and other pastries. Overall, I felt like I’d stepped into a different world, learning all about Swedish culture in this region and enjoying an activity few get to experience.

5. Dogsled Adventure Kiruna

• Duration:  3 hours
• Departure Time: Contact tour operator
• Includes: Swedish Fika and a hot drink or lighter lunch, warm clothes

This is the tour to choose if you’re sticking to a tight budget but still want to experience one of the coolest activities one could participate in in Kiruna!

The Dogsled Adventure Kiruna Tour  is straightforward, yet offers plenty of education and insight into the traditions that belong to the area.

There are also a couple of different tour options to suit everyone: you can either drive your own team of sled dogs or have a professional musher do the driving for you.

However, no matter which one you select, you can rest easy knowing that you’ll have a ton of fun with plenty of breathtaking wintery views surrounding you.

This tour also includes a complimentary hotel pickup, so make sure that you’re outside at least a few minutes before the pickup time.

Thanks to the different tour options and the streamlined organization, I feel this tour is ideal for couples, solo travelers, groups of friends, and families, alike.

Once we all arrived to the starting point, we were given an educational briefing where we learned about the history of dog sledding, how to drive the sleds, facts about the dogs, themselves, and much more.

Something I have to mention because it deserves recognition, was just how well the huskies were taken care of. You can tell that they’re happy, in great shape, well-fed, and love the people that they’re around.

After cruising along the wintery scenery, we took a break in between for a Fika, where we made coffee over the warm fire and enjoyed fresh cinnamon buns!

We had a great time chatting with our guide and petting the dogs! It’s definitely a tour I recommend to all of my friends, though keep in mind if you want to drive the dog sled you’ll need an average fitness level.

4 of the best dog sledding tours in Kiruna

For many people visiting the far north of Sweden, a dog sledding tour is one of the highlights of their trip.

And it’s true: there’s a LOT to love about whizzing through a pristine snowscape with a pack of friendly sled dogs.

Kiruna is easily one of the best places in all of Swedish Lapland to start your sledding adventure, with tonnes of tourist-friendly amenities on its doorstep. Here are some tips and tour recommendations to get you started!

Why is Kiruna such a great place for dog-sledding?

Let’s be blunt: Kiruna isn’t a beauty spot in its own right. Rather, it’s a large-ish, industrial-looking city that’s best known in Sweden for its enormous iron ore mine .

However, the area around Kiruna is stunningly beautiful. The frozen mountains and river valleys remain almost pristine, and they’re just perfect for dog-sledding adventures, with plenty of beauty spots to stop at for photos, snow angels and story telling around the campfire.

You’re also within easy reach of other big Swedish Lapland attractions such as the world-famous Icehotel .

Not only that, but Kiruna has two big advantages over other places that offer sled tours in Swedish Lapland.

Firstly, there are direct flights and overnight train services from central Stockholm (handy if you’re short on time).

And secondly, the city has a surprisingly good selection of places to stay, from cheap-ish hostels to high-end hotels that cater to a mix of Nordic businesspeople and international tourists.

When is the best time to go dog sledding in Kiruna?

Snow can fall in Kiruna pretty much all year round, and it’s not unheard of to get flurries in September or even June.

That said, for the best chance of a decent covering of snow, you’ll need to visit between late October and April. Most Kiruna dog sledding tours operate between those two months.

Daylight should also be a major consideration when planning a trip to Kiruna. While December and January are very chilly, with an extremely high chance of good snow, they are also extremely dark months with barely an hour or two of useful light per day.

So if you’re keen to see the local scenery in all its glory (and still have a good chance of snow for your dog sled tour) our advice is to aim for the shoulder months of October, November, February and March.

What to expect on a dog-sledding tour in Kiruna

Most dog-sledding tours start with meeting the sled dogs at their kennels and getting a briefing from your guide, who will run through all of the basic safety instructions.

Normally you’ll ride for a while and stop for food somewhere in the wilderness – in most cases it’s a simple, traditional meal cooked over an open fire. Opportunities for chatting on the actual sleds are quite limited, so this can be a fun way to meet with other participants.

Longer tours can last for several days and include accommodation, musher training and other activities like ice fishing or snowmobiling.

For most tours, it’s possible to arrange to be picked up or dropped off from your hotel or Airbnb.

How much does dog sledding cost in Kiruna?

Just like in Tromsø , Scandinavia’s other big dog-sledding hub, husky tours in Kiruna can be expensive.

A half-day tour that allows you to drive the dogs yourself usually starts are around 2000 SEK (approx 200 USD) per person.

However, there are also more affordable options available, such as shorter tours where you get to meet the dogs and experience a shorter sled ride, usually just as a passenger rather than a ‘musher’.

So, is it worth the money?

Kiruna’s dog sled tours certainly ain’t cheap but for most visitors this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that is definitely worth the cost.

Not only do you get to experience the thrill of dog-sledding through magical scenery, but there’s also a good chance you’ll be able to combine the tour with other bucket list activities like seeing the northern lights. Some tours like this one actually combine dog sledding with aurora spotting!

Having a hard time deciding which dog sled tour to book? Here are four of our favourites, including morning, afternoon and evening sessions that each offer something totally unique.

See the northern lights from your dog sled

Setting out from Kiruna in the evening, this epic northern lights tour is something truly special.

After getting to know the dogs, you’ll learn how to steer your own sled through the darkness (don’t worry, the snow brightens things up a lot more than you’d expect).

Because it’s dark, you’ll have a very good chance of seeing the northern lights on clear nights – and whatever happens, you’ll wrap up the tour with a hot drink around the campfire and some traditional Swedish fika .

Check availability

Start the day with dog sledding

Early riser? This self-drive tour might be just what you need.

Heading out in the morning, you’ll have a full five hours to practice mushing. Along the way, you’ll stop for hot soup and sandwiches in a Nordic tipi. There’s even a chance you’ll spot some of the local wildlife – from elk and reindeer to arctic hares.

Not a bad start to the day, and you’ll be back in town in plenty of time for a lazy afternoon and dinner.

Sled into the sunset

For a mix of day and night sledding, try this option instead .

Departing from Kiruna in the afternoon, it’s a slightly shorter tour than the morning version mentioned above.

There’s less chance of seeing wildlife, but you’ll get to experience the wilderness in the daylight and then see the sun set over the snowy horizon. Of course, once it’s dark, there’s the potential for some aurora-spotting too!

Head far beyond the city

With free, early morning pick ups from lots of handy hotels in downtown Kiruna, including Camp Ripan and Scandic Ferrum, this sunrise husky tour actually gets going around 17km outside of town.

The sleds on this tour seat up to 4 people at once, making it a good option for families or small groups who aren’t too worried about driving the sled themselves, and just want to enjoy the experience.

Frequently asked questions

Still not sure whether to book your tour? These questions and answers should help!

Is dog-sledding a traditionally Swedish thing?

Some tourism websites claim that the Sami people, the region’s indigenous people, have a long tradition of using sled dogs for transportation and hunting. This isn’t true (Sami people traditionally used reindeer, not sled dogs ) and dog sled tours were first imported in the 1980s to try and bring more tourists to the area.

Is dog-sledding cruel in Sweden?

Dog sled tours aren’t actually that controversial in Sweden, at least from an animal welfare standpoint.

All of the companies that offer dog-sledding tours in Kiruna are held to high standards of animal welfare, and normally you can find information about their policies and commitments on their individual websites.

In our experience, Swedish sled dogs seem genuinely happy, at least once they are out on the ice and snow. But of course, there’s still a wider question about the ethics of using huskies for entertainment, so it’s important to do your own research and make an informed decision.

What should you bring on a dog-sledding tour in Kiruna?

When preparing for a dog-sledding tour in Kiruna, it’s important to dress warmly and bring appropriate gear for the cold weather. You’ll need warm clothing, including a hat, gloves, and sturdy boots. It’s also a good idea to bring a camera to capture the stunning scenery, as well as some decent filling snacks to keep you going during the tour.

History of dog sledding in Sweden

Dog sledding has a long history in Sweden, dating back to the early days of the Sami people, who have lived in the northern regions of Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Russia for thousands of years. The Sami people have traditionally relied on reindeer for transportation and sustenance, but they also used dog sleds for transportation during the winter months when the ground was covered in snow and ice.

In the 19th century, dog sledding became increasingly popular in Sweden as a means of transportation in the northern regions of the country, particularly for mail and goods delivery. The use of dogsleds also expanded to other areas like logging, hunting, and fishing.

During the 20th century, dog sledding became a popular recreational activity in Sweden, with the rise of commercial dog sledding companies offering tourists a chance to experience dog sledding for themselves.

In recent years, dog sledding has become a popular tourist activity in Sweden, particularly in the northern regions of the country. Many companies offer dog sledding tours, from short rides to multi-day expeditions, allowing visitors to explore the remote wilderness while being pulled by a pack of hardworking and friendly sled dogs.

Sweden also has a strong tradition in dog sled racing, with many races taking place in the country, and the most well-known being the Femundløpet, a long-distance race that takes place every year in Norway and Sweden.

Why are huskies the best dogs for dog sledding?

Some of the reasons why huskies are considered the best dogs for dog sledding include:

• Endurance: Huskies were originally bred by the Chukchi people of northeastern Asia to pull heavy loads over long distances in harsh, snowy conditions. They have a high level of endurance and can run for hours without getting tired.
• Cold tolerance: Huskies have a thick double coat that keeps them warm in subzero temperatures. They also have a lower metabolic rate than other breeds, which allows them to conserve energy and stay warm in extremely cold weather.
• Speed: Huskies are known for their speed and can run at a steady pace for hours on end.
• Strong build: The breed has a strong and athletic build, able to pull heavy loads in tough conditions.
• Love for running: Huskies have a high energy level and love to run. They enjoy working in teams and are highly trainable.
• Temperament: The breed is known for its friendly and outgoing nature, which makes them easy to work with and great companions.

All of these characteristics make huskies well-suited for dog sledding, as they are able to handle the physical demands of pulling a sled over long distances in harsh conditions while also being easy to train and work with. They are efficient and dependable in adverse weather conditions, strong and durable, and with a steady temperament, it makes them one of the best dog breeds for dog sledding.

Dog Sledding Equipment Explained

Dog sledding equipment includes a sled, harnesses for the dogs, booties for the dogs’ paws, and a sled bag or basket for carrying supplies. The sled is typically made of wood or metal and is designed to glide smoothly over snow and ice.

The harnesses are designed to distribute the weight of the sled evenly among the dogs and provide support for the dogs while they are pulling. Booties protect the dogs’ paws from cold and rough terrain.

A sled bag or basket is used to carry supplies such as food and water for the dogs, extra clothing and gear for the musher, and any other necessary equipment. Some mushers also use a sled brake, which allows them to slow or stop the sled as needed.

Is it possible to go dog sledding without snow?

Dog sledding is often associated with snowy winter landscapes, but did you know that it’s possible to enjoy this exciting activity all year round? With the use of wheeled carts, also known as “dryland sleds,” dog sledding can be enjoyed in any season, including spring, summer, and autumn.

One tour that offers this unique experience is the Autumn Husky Sit and Drive Cart Tour from Kiruna. This tour takes place in the beautiful landscapes of northern Sweden, where you will have the opportunity to drive your own cart pulled by a team of friendly and energetic huskies. The tour takes place on a specially designed track through the forest, providing a safe and exciting experience for participants of all ages.

What sets this tour apart from traditional dog sledding is the use of wheeled carts, which allows for a smoother ride and eliminates the need for snow. This makes it possible to enjoy the thrill of dog sledding even in the warmer months of the year.

The tour also provides the opportunity to learn about the care and training of the huskies, as well as the history and culture of dog sledding in the area. The tour guides are experienced and knowledgeable, and will ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable experience.

How do you prepare for a winter dog sledding ride in Kiruna?

A winter dog sledding tour in Kiruna can be a thrilling and unforgettable experience, but it’s important to be well-prepared to ensure your safety and comfort. Here are some tips to help you prepare for your tour:

• Dress warmly: Wear multiple layers of clothing, including a warm jacket, insulated pants, gloves, and a hat. Make sure your clothing is water-resistant or waterproof to protect against snow and ice.
• Bring the right gear: Bring extra warm clothing and gear such as hand warmers, a face mask, and goggles to protect against the cold and wind.
• Be in good physical shape: Dog sledding can be physically demanding, so make sure you are in good shape and able to handle the activity.
• Research tour providers: Research different tour providers and read reviews to find a reputable company that offers a safe and enjoyable experience.
• Consider the weather: Be aware of the weather forecast for Kiruna during your trip and be prepared for extreme cold, wind and snow.
• Follow safety guidelines: Always listen to the tour guide’s safety instructions and follow their guidelines for handling the dogs and sleds.

By following these tips, you’ll be well-prepared for your winter dog sledding tour in Kiruna and can enjoy a safe and unforgettable experience.
