What you need to know about our dog sledding tours
Do I need prior experience of dog sledding?
No, absolutely not! We are always happy to share our passion for sled dogs with “newbies”. So you don’t have to worry if you haven’t been on a sled before, we will give you a crash course in dog sledding and our dogs are all well trained and listen to guests easily.
Is there a physical requirement?
Here in Lapland we are a hardy bunch, and our tours take place in all weathers – so be ready! It could be windy, icy or snowy but that won’t stop us having an incredible experience together.
Our 5 days tours require a medium to high level of fitness. We cross varied terrain and you must be fit enough to help your team and push your sled sometimes. For our 9 day expeditions a high level of fitness is required.
During the whole tour we all help out with taking care of the dogs, feeding them, preparing a straw bed for them. As a team we also help with fetching water, firewood, cooking and washing the dishes.
How to dress for a dog sledding tour?
We recommend that you dress in several layers, so that you can adjust your clothing to the varying temperature. We will lend you a warm overall, warm boots and mittens. You can find everything you need to bring with you at
