Wild Lapland – Winter Husky Adventure Week
A Journey Back to Yourself — in the Heart of Lapland’s Wilderness
When winter wraps Swedish Lapland in sparkling white and silence becomes so deep you can hear your own breath, a different kind of adventure begins — one that touches something inside you.
This week invites you to step into the life of the sled dogs — loyal, strong-hearted companions (or “Superstars,” as our musher Morgan fondly calls them) — who run with pure joy through the endless Arctic wild.
Here at Sandsjön, where sky and snow seem to meet, you’ll see, feel, and understand what freedom really means:
the honest reflection of the dogs’ social world, the soft whisper of sled runners over frozen lakes, the steady rhythm of paws and breath, and the crackle of a campfire beneath the dancing northern lights.
Every mindful breath draws you closer — to the dogs, to nature, and to yourself.
🐾 Your Week – Six Days of Nature, Dogs & Discovery
Day 1 – Arrival & Breathe In the North
After your journey to Sandsjögården, take a moment to simply arrive. Step outside, fill your lungs with crisp winter air, and feel the stillness of Lapland settle around you.
Your cozy lakeside cabin offers warmth, peace, and a place to truly unwind.
Day 2 – Kennel Eduventure Day
Ease into the world of sled dogs. Together we’ll explore everything from dog behavior and equipment to life in the kennel.
You’ll experience the deep respect, care, and knowledge behind every part of working with these animals — and soon become part of this everyday rhythm yourself.
Many guests say this day changes the way they see dogs — and nature.
Days 3–5 – Into the Wild with Your Team
Now the real adventure begins. With musher Morgan as your guide, you’ll head out on husky tours across frozen rivers, through quiet forests, and over wide-open tundra.
You can drive your own team or share a sled and take turns mushing — either way, you’ll feel the power and harmony between dogs, sled, and snow. You’ll help care for the dogs — feeding, watering, harnessing — and quickly get to know their unique characters. They’re not just a team; they’re personalities, each with their own spark.
After the day’s journey, we care for the dogs together, then gather around the fire or relax in the wood-heated lakeside sauna. And when the northern lights appear above — green and silent — you’ll know this moment will stay with you forever.
Day 6 – Farewell & Fresh Perspective
After breakfast, it’s time to say goodbye — to the dogs, the silence, and the boundless landscape.
But what you take home is lasting: a sense of arrival — in the heart of winter, and within yourself.
