Dog Sledding Adventure in Kiruna
Dog Sledding Adventure in Kiruna
Dog sledding in Kiruna is one of the most iconic ways to experience the Arctic winter. Glide through a pristine landscape of snow-covered birch forests, frozen lakes, and wide-open wilderness, guided by a powerful and eager team of Alaskan or Siberian huskies. Whether you choose to drive your own sled as a musher or sit back as a passenger, this experience combines adventure, nature, and deep connection with Arctic traditions.
Tours range from short half-day excursions to immersive multi-day wilderness safaris with overnight stays. Many experiences include a warming break around a fire in a traditional lavvu tent, complete with fika—hot drinks and cake—while your guides share insights into husky training, Arctic survival, and life in Swedish Lapland. Night-time tours may even double as Aurora hunts, adding an extra layer of magic to the journey.
