Top Destinations for Dog Sledding Holidays

Kiruna, SwedenAn Arctic Adventure Like No Other

Kiruna, located in the heart of Swedish Lapland, is one of Europe’s last true wildernesses and an extraordinary destination for dog sledding. On our husky sledding holidays in Kiruna, you will drive past breathtaking scenery, including dense forests, frozen lakes, and majestic mountain vistas. The crisp, fresh mountain air and the peace of the remote wilderness create the perfect setting for your dog sledding adventure. As you glide through the snow, your dog team will lead you on a journey that allows you to disconnect from the world.

SwedenChase the Northern Lights

Our husky sledding holidays in the Aurora region offer the chance to not only explore the stunning Swedish Lapland but also chase the Northern Lights. Far from city lights, the dark skies of the region provide optimal conditions for one of nature’s most spectacular light displays. Imagine leading your husky team under the mesmerising Northern Lights – an experience that will stay with you forever.

Norway, Finland & Svalbard – Unforgettable Day Trips

For those looking for a shorter but equally exhilarating experience, we also offer husky sledding day trips in Norway, Finland, and Svalbard. Each destination offers something to see, from Norway’s dramatic fjords to Finland’s snow-draped forests and Svalbard’s vast Arctic tundra. Led by expert mushers, you’ll experience the thrill of dog sledding while soaking in the breathtaking landscapes of the far north.

At Arctic Direct, we prioritise the highest standards of dog welfare. As such, we carefully select our sledding partners and do not offer husky experiences in certain locations, ensuring ethical and responsible tourism. Whether on a multi-day adventure in Sweden or an exciting day trip in Norway, Finland, or Svalbard, your dog sledding journey will be both unforgettable and principled.

Best Time to Go for Dog Sledding

The best time to experience husky sledding holidays is during the winter months, typically from December to April in some places. During this period, the Arctic landscapes are at their most perfect, with deep snow and clear skies creating ideal conditions for dog sledding in Sweden. This also coincides with the peak season for the Northern Lights, ensuring that you get the chance to witness this natural wonder.

If you are looking for a more adventurous experience, late winter to early spring offers longer days and stunning daylight views of the Arctic. No matter the season, Arctic Direct’s dog sledding holidays will immerse you in the best that the Arctic has to offer.
