A great activity. The location is super if you're staying in or near Abisko to do local dogsledding, and the times are great if you take the morning tour so you've still got loads of time in the day for other things.

A really magical experience sledding through the stunning snowy landscape with very friendly, and happy dogs. The dogs were well cared for, and loved being cuddled in between their shifts. They also couldn’t wait to run! Our group loved every second of it.

Thoroughly enjoyed our morning dog sledding. Our host and our sled driver were welcoming and friendly. Very easy to communicate with and the ride itself was amazing. Very friendly dogs who were enthusiastic and obviously enjoy what they do. Lots of time to meet and pet them. A fabulous long ride (16km) across snowy wilderness with a beautiful mountains in the background. Very happy with our experience.
