Dog-sledding and Saami culture

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.

Ráidu - Sami culture & reindeers

You are fetched by a Sami guide, taken by snowmobile and driven sled to the Sami viste (“homestead”) at Sautosjohkka. Here, you can experience traditional Saami culture and try out lassoing and driving a reindeer sled. Traditional Sami dishes are served over a campfire in a kåta, a Sami tent. 

Dog-sledding

Dog-sled excursion with coffee break - 1,5 hrs

In Jukkasjärvi and its environs, there are more dogs than people. Seat yourself comfortably in the sled and head silently into the wilderness. Includes stop for coffee and cake over a campfire.
