Lapland is an excellent location to see the Northern Lights. The Northern Lights are spectacular curtains of colour in the night sky caused by the interaction of solar particles with the Earth's atmosphere. Dark winter nights with clear skies and a New Moon offer the best conditions for the most spectacular Northern Lights displays.
Swedish Lapland is a unique wilderness region, occupying 25% of Sweden's land area but with just 1% of its inhabitants. Northern Lights Dog Sledding in Lapland is a challenging but accessible dog sledding tour taking you through silent ancient forests, across frozen lakes and river beds, in command of your own team of Siberian Huskies.
From your base at the comfortable wilderness camp, you will first take a day to get to know your dogs and gain confidence in handling the sled, before heading off for an extended dog sledding tour in the wilds of Swedish Lapland. Along the route you will stay in simple but comfortable cabins, some with sauna facilities to soothe your muscles after a long day's mushing on the trail.
Swedish Lapland is also an ideal location to see the Northern Lights. The long, dark Arctic night provides good chances to see this spectacular natural phenomenon during your tour. Northern Lights Dog Sledding in Lapland runs between December and late February, midwinter in Lapland when conditions for viewing the Northern Lights are generally at their best.
The excitement and adventure of working closely together with your dogsled team of Siberian Huskies as you journey through the Lapland winter landscape makes Northern Lights Dog Sledding in Lapland an ideal tour both for novice mushers and those who have already discovered the joys for dog sledding. The tour is suitable for adults with general good health and level of fitness and all specialist winter clothing is supplied as standard by your local guide.
The Lapland wilderness is waiting and the dogs are eager to be off!
