Experience the whole scale of the landscape of Swedish Lapland! A true dog sledding adventure starting at Saltoluokta Mountain Lodge and running over the bare mountains down to the snow covered woodlands of Jokkmokk.
This is one of our favorite routes and the same tour as the Crossing Lapland with dog sled but reversed. You will be dog sledding through the diverse nature we have up here in the north and experience impressive mountain views, mountain birch forests, frozen moorlands, lakes and rivers and old virgin pine forests.
The first days are spent along the King´s Trail – Kungsleden, in comfortable mountain cabins and then we’ll reach Årrenjarka Mountain Lodge, owned by the Mannberg family living in this remote place in generations. Here we will get the luxury of getting a warm shower before we will served a delicious dinner in the beautiful restaurant.
After refreshed in Årrenjarka we will be sledding down through the deep woodlands. Small, simple but cozy timber huts will give us shelter for the nights before we will reach our kennel down in Jokkmokk.
As on all our tours we all work as a team and you will help out with everything from taking care of the dogs, cut wood, fetching water and cooking. During this adventure you will have a good chance of seeing the Northern lights and if we are lucky we might see some of the wild animals in the area or at least their tracks. The animals moving around here are moose, reindeer, wolverine, lynx, hare and different kind of birds like ptarmigan and capercaillie.
