Choose from unforgettable journeys through the mountains on horseback or behind a team of dogs or reindeer. You can hardly get closer to nature than when you travel in the company of animals. The camaraderie, trust, admiration and respect you quickly feel for your draught animals is a rare experience that further enhances the pleasure and adventure in exploring the great, wild mountain expanses.

– Sweden’s largest sled dog company is based in Jukkasjärvi a resort where the four-legged population is greater than the two-legged and where many excursions start out from the famous Icehotel. In most of the Swedish winter destinations, both long and short sled dog trips are available through forest terrain or up in the bare mountain regions.   
 
The Swedish mountains are made for travelling on horseback or behind teams of dogs or reindeer – wide open and not too steep. Additionally, there is a well built system of trails with mountain cabins and stations and many well-reputed organisers offering tours of differing length and character.
 
You do not need any previous experience to operate your own dog or reindeer team, as experienced guides quickly teach you the basic tricks. Then it is simply a case of following the animals and allowing yourself to be transported as the Sami and other mountain dwellers have since time immemorial. Horseback tours are also organised in the Swedish mountains – as well as in other areas in the country – for both beginners and experienced riders.
