A bucket list item of many people. During our holiday in the picturesque Sälen region of mid Sweden, we embarked on an unforgettable dogsled journey with Fjälläventyr, a well-known organization that has been creating unforgettable experiences since 1976. You can learn more about them on their website.
Picture this: snowy landscapes all around, the strength and enthusiasm of huskies pulling our sleds, and their excitement in the air. Before the tour, the huskies couldn't contain their joy, but as soon as the sleds started moving, a focused silence took over. All you could hear was the panting of the dogs and the sound of their paws on the cold snow. We noticed the dogs were eager to run, which is especially so in the beginning of winter, and the post-run cuddles were a sweet reward for their boundless energy.
Our guide, Ludwig, led the way on the first sled while we followed with our own team of huskies. The tour not only treated us to breathtaking views of Sälen's natural beauty but also included a stop at the Storfjällsgraven mountain cabin. There, we enjoyed coffee, hot chocolate, and precious moments cuddling with the dogs.
Tip: Ensure timely pre-booking, preferably through the organisation's online calenda. These dogsledding tours with Fjälläventyr are super popular, and timely reservations are a must to secure your spot for this extraordinary adventure.
