You’ll drive your own dog team across frozen swamps and winding rivers, through ancient, snow-covered forests—always with the majestic Kebnekaise mountain rising in the distance. Two people share each team, taking turns to mush and ride, with around 45 minutes of pure sledding magic each. We travel deep into vast, untouched wilderness where silence reigns and we rarely meet another soul. It’s just you, the dogs, and the rhythm of snow under runners—a truly unforgettable way to connect with nature, yourself, and your team.

🐶 Dog massage & recovery care: After the ride, you’ll learn how to give your team a well-deserved massage and explore how small actions can have a big impact on animal well-being.

🔥 Gather in our Mindfulness Tipi:

Calm presence isn’t just a human luxury—it’s a powerful tool for reducing stress and building trust with animals. In our Mindfulness Tipi, we dive deeper into how mindfulness shapes every part of our work with sled dogs—from raising curious puppies to supporting wise retirees. Why does presence matter to a dog? How can we tell if they truly enjoy the work? What does real animal welfare look like in the sled dog world? We’ll explore these questions together and show you how to recognize the signs of well-being—and how to bring the same calm, respectful connection into your own life with animals.

In 40 minutes we drive from Kiruna to our kennel. We drive along the beautiful Kalix river, which is one of the largest river systems in Europe that has not been exploited for hydroelectric purposes. On clear days we can even see the beautiful mountain range hosting Sweden’s tallest mountain, Kebnekaise. The chances to see moose are high as we pass through the moose’s winter grazing land.

We have a warming vegetarian soup around the fire in our mindfulness tipi i which invites conversations about life in this Arctic environment.

Animal welfare is the core in our work. We always put the dogs first in all we do.
