The all team (including the dogs ;) ) is really welcoming and friendly. Our guide (Théo) was answering all our questions and was really enthusiastic. It was even better than I expected, and I was not disappointed at any point!
The nature as well as the dogs were so beautiful. We even got the chance to cuddle the little puppies at the end of the ride which made the experience greater!!!
An important thing to mention is that the dogs are very well treated and the guides take really good care of them!
This incredible adventure is simply unforgettable and I highly recommend it to anyone travelling to Kiruna.
I already miss the dogs and definitely want to come back soon for a longer trip and hopefully with some Nothern lights next time. read less

Jordana and Kent are in their best when they wholeheartet take you along on the trails. Running the Troll-carts with the dogs are a experience hard to describe, you have to trie it. Cant wait to be back in the winter to run a sleddogteam :-)
Excellence, experience and care are the keywords here. read less

Le emozioni più grandi ce le hanno infatti date gli spettacolari paesaggi,i laghi ghiacciati, i fiumi ghiacciati su cui siamo passati in sella a una tipica slitta trainata da 12 bellissimi e dolcissimi cani husky !!!! Immaginatevi di essere immersi nella natura selvaggia, di notte, su una slitta e tutto intorno a voi buio e silenzio........ sono emozioni che non si dimenticano mai!!! read less

Didn’t get to see the northern lights on the tour, unfortunately (they did appear much later in the night though), but did see the stunning forests by moonlight. The dogs are well trained and extremely well cared for and at the same time very friendly and enjoyed being petted. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. It really was a once in a lifetime experience and I’m pleased I did it with a reputable company that cares for the dogs. read less

The dogs were well cared for and in good condition. They were surprisingly friendly, I hadnt expected that but it made interacting with them even better.
The company provided outerwear and each day we had to get the Huskies ready to pull the sled and also to feed them during and at the end of the day.
Travelling like this I saw beautiful winter landscapes and some wildlife - reindeer and moose.
Jordana, one of the people who run the company, was of great assistance to me. Before the trip she communicated with me on a regular basis and provided lists of what to pack and such like. During my trip she supplied me with lovely home cooked vegetarian food which was a real bonus.
Something I hadnt expected was lunch in a teepee. This really added to the overall experience. At the end of the trip we returned to the kennels and I was delighted to meet some Huskie puppies. This trip is something I have wanted to do for many years and it totally lived up to and exceeded my expectationa
Overall it was the most amazing experience. Thank you Jordana!
I went from here to stay in the Ice Hotel in Kiruna. read less

We were picked up on time and drove out to the Kennel where we met our guide as well as the dogs. Before starting we were outfitted with proper clothing to keep us warm. We then got to get one team ready ourselves which was a great experience, as we got to find out how the harness etc works. Before taking off we got a short and sufficient intro into the sled and how the stearing, braking etc works. We could already tell the dogs were very excited and eager to go for the run, because as soon as our guide got to her sled they were ready and starting to pull. We rode about 10km in almost an hour and had a great time, riding through the forest and along the creak. When it started lightly snowing it was just perfect! After returning to the camp, we fed and unharnessed the dogs before sitting down by a small bonfire, having some coffee, tea and homemade cake (don't miss the cake, it's amazing!). Jordana took a lot of time explaining us how they take care of the dogs, train them etc. The dogs are very well behaved and also well fed and treated with a lot of respect and care! After a walk through the Kennel and an introduction to the puppies (including some cuddling) we got driven back to Kiruna. We definitely recommend driving your own sled, it was an amazing exper read less

Nach der Hälfte haben wir dann gewechselt und ich hatte die Chance mein eigenes Team aus 5 Hunden zu fahren. Es war ein wirklich außergewöhnliches Erlebnis. Nachdem wir aus Kiruna abgeholt wurden, haben wir erstmal warme Sachen bekommen, auch wenn man schon dick angezogen war, denn frieren möchte man bei so einer Tour auf keine Fall. Die Einweisung war ausführlich und man sich hat sich gut drauf vorbereitet gefühlt, obwohl es an sich auch gar nicht schwierig ist, man muss sich nur gut festhalten und auf den Abstand zum vorderen Schlitten achten. Die Guides kennen sich wirklich gut aus und haben uns alle Fragen beantwortet. Man merkt, dass in der Arbeit ihr Herzblut drin steckt. Als wir zurück kamen, konnten wir unser Team noch füttern und ableinen dürfen. Die Hunde sind wirklich sehr gut erzogen und super lieb zu den Gästen. Wir sind dann noch zum Lagerfeuer gegangen und haben Fika gemacht. Während der gesamten Tour haben wir uns pudelwohl gefühlt und wir würden jeder Zeit wiederkommen! read less

It’s a once in a life time experience and this particular company will go out of their way to make it memorable. You will get so much more than just a ride in a sled! The team caring for the dogs are knowledgeable, passionate and caring. You get to meet the dogs, understand how they are fed and cared for, their names and histories and pedigrees. Then you get suited up in immaculately clean and well maintained snow gear- chosen for you by the knowledgeable team. Your sled ride is like something out of a story book, from the reindeer skin thrown over the wooden sled for comfort, to the picturesque ride through the snow you and your +1 would take. You will end it with a roaring fire and a much needed cup of tea or coffee. This is really the stuff of dreams! read less

We have been picked up at Kiruna Tourist Center and we were taken to the beautiful location in the woods near Svappavaara. The member of the staff then explained the main commands for driving the sled and led us through a magnificent landscape in which we spent unforgettable moments. At the end of the ride, friendly staff members shared insights into the world of dogsledding as we sipped tea and coffee and ate cinnamon rolls around a cozy fire. Finally they allowed us to visit the puppies box, very cute and super lively! In summary, an excellent afternoon! If I had to find a flaw, it would be that I spent too little time in contact with puppies! read less

We were with our family (5 adults). Kent is really professional with his dogs and takes good care of them. He select the dogs on the weight of the driver. Some with 3 dogs, for bigger people 4 dogs. The whole trip he is watching the whole group to keep it save for everybody (human and dog). It was also nice that it were small groups(8 persons including the guide).
After the sled tour we get a tour on the farm and could ask everything. We also met some puppies!!!
Thanks for this experience Kent (and his team). read less

The volume raises and falls away. And as the dogs prepare to set out on their run, they’re excited calls whip up the other dogs that are to be left behind and does not fall away until the anchor brake comes off and todays adventure begins.
The dogs set off as if released from the racing traps and soon we escape the lights of the lodge and we’re into the forest. The snow has fallen afresh and the track is more camouflaged than most days but the dogs know their way and they charge into the night. As we leave the forest into the open land, such beauty - picture perfect. The air is crisp and it’s so quiet. Only the pants of the dogs, the patter of their paws on the snow and the sliding of the cart with the occasional break to keep the gap between the rider ahead. It’s so peaceful. I’m so lucky. I reflect in the moment that as dreams go, it was worth the wait.
Back at base, the dogs are fed, unharnessed and returned back to their homes. One by one, they’re all checked back in and then it’s time to meet the youngsters. We meet the 6 month olds first, two young dogs that like affection. One climbs my knees to get the most attention. Afterwards, it’s on to the pups. They’re one month old. They’re tiny - impossibly small. They shiver as their minute paws with spread legs touch the snow. I grab armfuls of them and tuck them all together. Their fur is soft. Their tiny ears. The snow is falling on their little black furred bodies. I put them down and grab another two and watch the ones I let go stumble over to their mum to see if she’ll let them fed. She won’t, it’s not time. And more of these little black puppies flood from their nest. Nine in all. Becoming more confident in their paws as we’re there with them and tussling with one another. And too soon, it’s time to leave. Time to leave this wonderful place and go back to our realities. A priceless experience and one I’ll remember forever. read less
