Gutsy Girls Holiday | Sweden: Dog Sledding Adventure in Lapland

Join Gutsy Girls for a 6-night dog sledding and winter adventure in Swedish Lapland. This beginner-friendly retreat blends thrilling Arctic activities, cosy eco-lodging, and immersive cultural experiences in one of Europe’s last great wildernesses.

Why Dog Sledding?

• Lead Your Own Team – Experience the magic of mushing as you guide a team of huskies through snow-covered forests and frozen lakes. No experience needed—just a sense of adventure.
• A Taste of Tradition – Dog sledding is more than a thrill ride; it’s a time-honored way of life in the Arctic. You’ll learn the basics of mushing and connect with the land in a way few ever do.
• Beyond the Sled – This trip includes snowshoeing, backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, and a visit to a Sami village—each offering a new way to explore Lapland’s pristine landscapes.

Highlights
Dog Sledding: Learn to mush and ride with your own team of huskies across snowy trails.
Snowshoeing & Skiing: Trek through untouched wilderness and try beginner-friendly backcountry skiing.
Snowmobiling: Glide across frozen terrain on a thrilling 3-hour ride.
Sami Village Visit: Meet reindeer herders and learn about indigenous Sami culture.
Northern Lights Hike: Chase the aurora on a magical night walk through the forest.
Hot & Cold Spa Night: Unwind with a sauna, hot tub soak, and invigorating ice bath.

Rated easy to moderate, this trip welcomes beginners but invites you to tap into your inner grit, especially during the dog sledding expedition. Life at the wilderness cabin means shared rooms, no electricity or running water, and brisk treks to the outhouse, all adding texture to the adventure. Whether you’re mushing across snow-covered trails or bonding by the firelight, you’ll return with stories worth sharing and a spirit renewed.

📍 Location
Swedish Lapland is a vast, snow-blanketed region rich in indigenous heritage and natural beauty. Home to the Sami people and roaming reindeer, it offers a deep sense of stillness and wonder especially under the glow of the Northern Lights.

🛏️ Accommodation
After active days in the snow, you’ll recharge in a cosy eco-hotel set deep in the forest, complete with a traditional sauna and woodsy charm. You’ll also stay a night in a quiet wilderness cabin and another in a welcoming city hotel – perfect for ending the trip with comfort and calm.
