Sami culture, dogsledding

and horseback riding

The wilderness around Jukkasjärvi is a landscape without roads. Our four-legged public transport can forge its own paths over the expanses of white snow. Experience the dream-like sensation of being close to everything – animals, snow and nature – with yourself at the center of it all.

Dogsled tour short

Did you know that in Jukkasjärvi and its environs, there are more dogs than people? Dogsledding is a fun way to experience the snowy landscape and to meet our four-legged friends. Seat yourself comfortably in the sled and head silently into the wilderness. Includes stop for coffee and cake over a campfire.

Transfer ICEHOTEL-Kiruna Airport in search for the moose

Might be the photo opportunity you'll always remember! If the circumstances are right as you travel by minibus to the moose's winter pastures, there might be a kodak moment heading your way. The moose is the second largest species of deer in the world and an often spotted in neck of our woods. Bring along a spear battery for your camera, in case they decide to pose for you.

Northern light tour by horseback
Hopalong on a horseback tour! When the evening starts to set, we head out in the forest where we might see a moose or two, and hopefully the Northern Lights dancing across the sky. Afterwards we enjoy a dinner around the open fire in a Goathi (Sami hut) and learn more about the Sami culture.
