Map of Sweden

The Jämtland Mountains

Jämtland is one of Sweden's largest "landskap", or counties, occupying approximately 12% of Sweden's total land area, but is home to just 1.5% of the total population. Even by Swedish standards, this makes Jämtland a very sparsely-populated region.

Jämtland is a highland area, with its highest peak being Storsylen at 1,728 metres above sea level. Other well-known peaks in the area are Åreskutan, Helags and Sylarna.

Dog sledding holidays in Sweden: Jämtland

Dog Sledding Across Jämtland is the ideal dog sledding tour for those who have done some previous dog sledding and are looking for the next step - a real "once is a lifetime" mushing adventure, a challenging dogsled tour with winter camping taking you across the roof of Jämtland in north-west Sweden.

"Spring winter", as the later part of the winter season is known in northern Sweden,, is the ideal time for winter camping, offering longer hours of daylight and generally milder temperatures. Beginning with a night of comfort at the Husky Lodge, over the following 6 days you will be running a team of your own Siberian Huskies through some of Sweden's most spectacular mountain landscapes. Along the way you will be camping wild in the mountain wilderness on most nights, with one night at a mountain station for a taste of civilisation!

Each night you will tend to the needs of the dogs, building snow shelters when necessary to protect them from the mountain winds and melting snow for them to drink. Each participant drives their own dogsled with team of Siberian Huskies. You will be working very closely with your dogs during the tour, and by the time you return to the Husky Lodge for your final night and farewell dinner, you should have made some close new four-legged friends.

Dog Sledding Across Jämtland is a tough but hugely rewarding dog sledding adventure holiday - by the end of the tour you should be justly proud of your dog sledding skills and will feel like a real musher! Some previous experience of dog sledding and winter camping is required.

Combining dog sledding with winter camping is a unique and challenging winter holiday - spending your days on the trail with your dogsled team, your nights under canvas with the dogs sleeping just outside beneath the stars. A magnificent human-animal partnership in the winter wilderness! Groups are very small with a maximum of just 4 participants, making Dog Sledding Across Jämtland a very personal experience.
