To go dog mushing in the taiga is a true winter experience. Great nature, sled dogs, Aurora and glowing campfires. The woodlands in Lapland offers real midwinter this time of the year with heavy snow covered\u00a0forests, iced lakes, fluffy snow and the <\/b>Aurora Borealis<\/a> that come into its own during the dark nights. <\/b><\/p>\n

Together with our sled dogs<\/a>, we work our way through the wintry landscape. Jokkmokk lays above the Arctic Circle and the low standing midwinter sun causes the sky to glow in beautiful colours during the day. Here live many wild animals like elk, reindeer, red fox, hare, wolverine and a few resident birds that remain during the winter. The reindeers, elk and birds are the most likely to encounter but, we usually see many tracks in the snow from others.<\/p>\n

We will spend most of the nights in small log huts and one night is spent in a canvas tent with wood stove. The huts are without electricity and running water and everyone helps with all the daily chores, from taking care of the dogs, fetching water and chop wood etc.
\nVery few people travel in this area during this time of the year so we are likely to be alone. Just us, the sled dogs, nature and the wildlife.
\nWelcome to a true wilderness experience!<\/p>\n
