Dogsledding is one of the best experiences you can have in Swedish Lapland and is a big part of the local culture. However, when visiting the area, knowing where to go to dog sled is important to make sure you have a good experience.

At Jukkasjärvi Vildmarksturer AB you can go dogsledding through the Swedish forest. Here you have the option to either go dogsledding on your own or with a guide. And you can learn all about the dogsledding traditions in the area. The owner, also called a musher, of Jukkasjärvi Vildmarksturer told us all about how he competes across Lapland with his dogs in races up to 150 kilometres. He introduced us to his dogs, telling us their names, roles, and what makes them each unique. The dogs were so excited to run as we sledded through the forest at sunset.
