Dog sledding at Idre Himmelfjäll
Experience one of winter’s most magical activities in the mountains – a ride with a dog sled through the beautiful landscape around Idre Himmelfjäll. Here the whole family can join in on a true winter adventure where strong and friendly sled dogs take you across snow-covered expanses while you sit comfortably in the sled.
An authentic mountain adventure with sled dogs
Dog sledding is an experience that combines nature, animals, and adventure. The tour begins with you meeting the dogs and getting to know their different personalities. There is plenty of time to pet them, cuddle them, and take photos. If you want, you can also help harness the dogs before the tour - something that is usually especially appreciated by children.
When everything is ready, you set off into the mountain landscape. The sled glides silently across the snow while the dogs work together in the team. The only sounds are the sled against the snow and the dogs' rhythmic breathing. It is a unique feeling of peace and closeness to nature.
A memorable experience for the whole family
Dog sledding is an activity that suits both children and adults. For children, it is often a highlight to get to meet the dogs up close and maybe find their own favorite in the team. During the tour, you sit safely in the sled together while the guide drives the team and tells more about the dogs and life as a sled dog.
The tour is just the right length for families and provides an authentic experience of the mountain winter landscape. After the tour, there is often time to cuddle a little more with the dogs and help when they need to rest after work.
A personal and unique experience
The dog sled tours are arranged in smaller groups, which makes the experience calm and personal. You do not share the tour with large groups of unknown guests, but instead get a more genuine experience together with the guide and dogs.
The dogs are well cared for family dogs of breeds such as Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute. They love their work and clearly show their joy when it is time to head out on the tour.
