Winter Activities

The quiet winter landscape of northern Sweden is best explored using the traditional methods of dog-sledding and snowmobiling. Driving a team of enthusiastic dogs is an exhilarating experience – make sure you hold on tight as the dogs won’t stop! – and the trees give way to wide expanses of snow as you travel pass many frozen lakes. Travelling by snowmobiles allows you to get off the tracks and onto the fresh snow.
