Immerse yourself in the dark wintry nights of Lapland and escape the city lights by sitting on a big sled pulled by a team of excitable, yet friendly, Alaskan Huskies. The trail winds its way through pine and birch forest down to the famous Torne River where you can see the night sky stretching out far in front of you. If the Aurora forecast is on your side, and the sky is clear, it\u2019s possible to see the lights dancing in the sky!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At our half-way point we stop at a traditional Sami-style tipi, l\u00e1vvu, for a warming drink and homemade apple cake. Here you can choose to take comfort and warmth from the open fire, or you can marvel at the display of Aurora outside before we head home again. Our kennel is just 10 minutes outside of Kiruna and yet it feels like a different world far away from crowds and city light pollution. It\u2019s the perfect tour for anybody wishing to increase their chances of spotting the Northern Lights, but if the Aurora are not visible, you can still enjoy an excellent experience with our huskies who love a cuddle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Information about the tour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When <\/strong>Daily, December 1-January 31: 17.00-19.30<br>February 1-March 12: 18.00-20.30<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Price <\/strong>2 250 SEK\/person, 1 200 SEK\/ 3-12 yrs.<br>Peak season between Dec 20-Jan 7 &amp; Feb 7-Feb 22: 2 375 SEK\/person, 1 325 SEK\/ 3-12 yrs.<br><em>(Valid for season 2026\/2027)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Included<\/strong> Transfer, guide, warm clothing, coffee\/tea and \u00b4Fika\u00b4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Participants<\/strong> Minimum 2, max 12 persons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other <\/strong>Guests must be in good health and be able to sit on the sled with bent knees.
