The Sweden Husky Trail

Watching the Northern Lights and tending to dogs provides an experience of living as the Laplanders do. This is a popular charity challenge and is oversubscribed year-on-year… a truly unforgettable experience awaits you. 

Sled over 240km across Sweden through untouched nature, and celebrate our achievements at the world famous Ice Hotel! The challenge begins in Kiruna where we make our way to the Dog Sled Centre, to pick up our kit and most importantly to meet our four-legged friends who will be our closest companions for the duration of our challenge! We'll then take a short transfer to the Snow Trail Dog Camp for dinner and a challenge briefing! 

This charity challenge is suitable for beginners to sledding as full training will be given – all you need to join our challenge is a thirst for extreme adventure! This is no ordinary charity challenge – we will be required to erect our own tents, cook for ourselves and fulfil all camping duties with the equipment provided. In addition to looking after ourselves, we’ll also be responsible for looking after our teams of huskies – be assured, this is a true, “hands on” wilderness challenge!
