Riding a dogsled through frigid, barren fields of snow reminds of how man and dog teamed up to conquer nature in the arctics. We had the oppurtunity of sledding through an additional snowstorm, and thankfully, as the organizers did not cancel our booking, we got an once-in-a-lifetime primal experience that is exclusive to the arctics!

The dog sled was 20km long over 2 hours. Alittle long i thought but very enjoyable. The view and experience was worthwhile. Thumbs up to our guides who was engaging and very thoughtful. A shout out to our guides who went out of his way to suggest searching for my.wife phone. Fortunately we found it before the search started. Thumbs up!

First time experiencing the energetic dogs of lapland’s dogsledding. It was awesome to see how powerful they can be in pulling 4 times an average human bodyweight plus the sleigh and still move so fast.
