Do you dream of joining a real musher for a once in a lifetime Arctic Experience? Are all the dog sledding tours in Abisko fully booked during your time in Abisko? Don’t worry – Lights Over Lapland is here to help! Before Covid arrived Abisko was blessed with several dog sledding companies, which offered our guests lots of choice and availability. Sadly, Covid led to the loss of 50% of the dog sledding capacity in Abisko so now there is only one provider in the National Park who offers dog sledding adventures. They are a fantastic company, with incredible dog sledding trips in Abisko, but unfortunately for our guests they are usually fully booked months in advance. This makes it very difficult to find availability for our guests on the ground in Abisko. With this in mind, Lights Over Lapland, and our friends at Kiruna Dogsled have an exciting dog sledding adventure in the beautiful village of Oinakka – just outside of Kiruna, near the world’s original Icehotel.

What's Included

Warm overalls, winter boots, hats and gloves.
Round trip transportation from Abisko or Björkliden to the dogsledding camp near Kiruna.
Warm drink and cinnamon bun is included but please bring your own lunch.
Lunch is not included nor available for purchase at the dogsledding camp so we highly recommend that you bring a packed lunch on this excursion.

What to expect

During the dog sledding adventure, your professional musher/guide will drive a sled which accommodates up to four guests. Having a professional musher drive the sled ensures the highest levels of safety for our guests, and allows healthy guests of nearly all levels of physical ability to enjoy this once in a lifetime dog sledding adventure. While your professional musher controls the team of dogs, you can sit back, relax, take LOTS of pictures and enjoy every second of your time in the Arctic wilderness.

Approximately halfway through the dog sledding adventure, we will stop at our remote Arctic wilderness camp where your guide will prepare a warm fire, piping hot drinks and classic Swedish Fika. After you have had a chance to relax by the fire, we will hop back on the dog sled and continue with our 10 – 12 KM circuit. Please know that you may have to share a sled with other people. We allow up to 4 people per sled. The actual time on the sled is approximately 2 x 30 minutes but can be slightly shorter or longer depending on snow conditions. This activity takes place in Oinakka, near Kiruna. Round trip transportation from Abisko & Björkliden is included (2 hours single journey).
