Experience an iconic Arctic activity and ride at full speed up a beautiful Swedish mountain on this Ansättenfjäll dog sledding excursion from Bakvattnet! The small village of Bakvattnet is located in western Sweden, in Jämtland County near the Ansättfjällen. Surrounded by beautiful, wild Arctic landscapes, this small village is perfect for experiencing outdoor winter activities.
On the day of your dog sledding excursion from Bakvattnet, you'll need to arrive at the Taikuri Adventures farm to meet your expert musher (dog sled driver). They will welcome you and, if you need it, you can rent a thermal suit to keep you warm. After a thorough safety briefing, you'll hop on the sled, and go!
Led by 10 to 12 huskies, you'll ride through a spruce forest to reach the incredible Ansättenfjäll. With stunning views of Lake Bakvattnet, you'll ascend the mountain until you reach its vast plateau. Every excursion is different, so you might see snow-covered trees, have a clear view of the Norwegian mountains, or see the snow falling, depending on the weather of the day. You'll finally return to the farm, get to pet the dogs that took you on this wonderful adventure, and let them go get their snacks, as you share a delicious Swedish fika with your instructor.
All you have to do to prepare for this wonderful 4-hour dog sledding excursion from Bakvattnet is bring a wind and waterproof jacket and pants, thermal or wook underlayers, extra middle layers, snow boots, a hat, a scarf, gloves, and anything else you might need (medication, sunglasses, extra snacks, etc.) to enjoy a moment out in the Arctic wilderness of Finnish Lapland with some adorable canine guides.
