Self-Drive Dog Sledding Excursion in Kiruna

Learn what it takes to lead your own team of energetic and loyal huskies in the wonderful winter wonderland of Oinakka just outside Kiruna. Dog sledding in Kiruna is one of the most popular activities, and now you have the opportunity to drive your own sled and lead a team of 4 Alaskan huskies!

This activity will take you straight from your accommodation in town to the depths of the Lappish wilderness. Pick-up is provided from Kiruna, and you can also choose to meet your guide directly at their base in Oinakka, just outside of Kiruna, and near the world's original ICEHOTEL.

Upon arrival, your instructor will provide you with all the necessary information, and show you some mushing techniques. Then, it is time to meet your team and gear up with warm clothes. Once everyone is prepared, the self-drive dog sledding in Kiruan begins! Head off onto the snow, and lead your furry companions in the wilderness and through the frozen wintry landscapes and old pine forests!

Along the way, you'll stop at a traditional Sami tipi to rest and enjoy a delicious light meal. Warm up with a hot drink and some cookies, and listen to the stories the guide has to tell about the ancient Sami culture and the wildlife in the Swedish Lapland.

Once you've recharged, it is time to make your way back to the kennel. Marvel at the glittering frozen winter landscapes and lakes of the Swedish wonderland, as you lead your team back to the farm. Back at the kennel, you'll say goodbye to your four-legged friends, and leave Kiruna with lifelong memories!

This is the perfect activity for adventurers who want to discover the Arctic wilderness in the most traditional of ways. Book your self-drive dog sledding trip in Kiruna and prepare to uncover the wonderlands of Swedish Lapland!
