Dog sled team in the forest — Direct North Travel

Dogsledding tour 12km

Experience the thrill of dogsledding in Piteå on a 12km dogsledding tour. Our huskies are excited to meet you and take you on an unforgettable adventure through Swedish nature.

What to expect?

Upon arrival, we will welcome you into our wooden hut. When necessary we can loan you some extra clothing.
After a warm introduction, it is time to meet the stars of the show: our dogs. They are incredibly happy to share this adventure with you!

You will take a seat on the large wooden sledge (maximum 4 persons). Your guide will lead the team over frozen lakes and through the Swedish forests. During the tour, you can witness the power of the dogs, experience the breathtaking nature, and ask our musher anything about the dogs, the environment, or life in the North.

Halfway through, we will take a short break in the forest—the perfect moment to take some photos and enjoy nature. After the break, the journey continues as we glide from forest landscapes back onto the frozen lakes.

When we return to the kennel, you are invited to help us take care of the team. We will give the dogs a drink and some well-deserved attention, which of course includes plenty of cuddles. There is also plenty of time for more photos with your favorite dogs.
