LAPLAND ODYSSEY Expedition

7-day Dog Sledding Expedition (5 days driving sled)

LAPLAND ODYSSEY Expedition offers a 7-day adventure deep into the spectacular world of northern Lapland. We pass frozen lakes and rivers and traverse pristine snow landscapes. You will have your dog team, for which you will be responsible during the entire tour. Being dependent on the dogs, and the weather conditions build deep friendships and lead to unique experiences.

While breathing in the fresh air, you can discover tracks of wild animals such as moose, reindeer, and maybe even wolverine, and lynx in the snow. The vastness of nature is exciting and calming at the same time.

The driver must be physically fit. Dogsledding is an activity that requires physical effort.

The participant should like dogs- that is a requirement

The number of dogs per sled depends on the participants ́ size and skills, the respective snow conditions, and on the terrain to be traversed.

We adapt our trips to weather and snow conditions.

Nature of the North has the last word in route planning.

The participant may be exposed to very low temperatures.
