DAY 1
Fly to Kiruna. Overnight with Gourmet Dinner at Moose Valley Cabins
So you have probably been to Lapland before, tried and fell in love with driving a husky sled team and now want to go back and do it again – but experience much more than just the taster you had on your first trip!
Look no further, this break is for you!
Once you arrive in Kiruna and have collected your bags, you need to introduce yourself to Petri who will be holding a “The Adventure Tour Company” sign. He will then transport you to Moose Valley Cabins where you will be kitted out with your arctic clothing.
Johan and Malin, the owners, will greet you upon arrival at the cabin and settle you in. Dinner will be served in the cosy dining room adjacent to the cabin. Johan is a trained chef and his pride and joy is the ‘Chef’s table’ adjacent to the 2 cabins. This is the smallest restaurant in Sweden with just 2 tables with views over the river valley and a fitted kitchen where Johan will cook and serve your Gourmet evening meal!
You can sit outside afterwards around the campfire and soak up the silence of the Arctic night or jump in the outdoor hot tub and relax with the prospect of a Northern Lights display flashing above you.
Meals included: Dinner
DAY 2
First Day of Driving Sled Dogs in Pristine Arctic wilderness
DAY 2
First Day of Driving Sled Dogs in Pristine Arctic wilderness
After breakfast transfer to the kennel on the road to Nikkaluokta through a river valley where moose congregate in winter.
Ylva Sievertsson is one of a select group of accomplished ‘lady’ husky guides, whose kennel is in a remote valley from where she runs very personal sled dog trips. As you will discover she has a very special relationship with her dogs and it is a thrill to visit her kennel and spend time with her dogs.
Once you arrive at the kennels get acquainted with the dogs and receive detailed instructions about how to drive them. Harness the dogs and feel their excitement as you attach the sled. Head out into the frozen river valley where you can enjoy driving the team and also make stops to take photos. The location is outside the major tourist areas and we can almost promise that you will enjoy pristine arctic nature alone.
Note: Every party member (6 maximum) has their own sled dog team.
You will be out for about 2 hours before heading back to base for a warming lunch in the traditional ‘Kota’ adjacent to the family home.
After lunch head out again for another run with the dogs before returning to your cabins. You will cover around 30 kms today mainly hugging the frozen river valley in pristine arctic wilderness where you will not see another soul.
This evening relax at the cabins and enjoy another fine dinner whilst making use of the hot tub and sauna.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
DAY 3
Sled Dog Tour to the foot of Sweden's tallest Mountain Range
DAY 3
Sled Dog Tour to the foot of Sweden's tallest Mountain Range
Pick up and transfer to the Kennels to prepare the teams for the first of your full day runs. Head off through the river valley towards Nikkaluokta at the base of Sweden’s tallest mountains arriving in time for lunch. Return to the kennels after lunch having covered around 60 kms.
Transfer back to your private base at Moose Valley Cabins for dinner, hot tub and sauna. Late March, early April is a wonderful time to visit the arctic. The days are longer, the weather milder and with clearer night skies we often witness fantastic Aurora displays. They come later in the evening but after dinner why not sit around the outside fireplace sharing stories of the day, keeping a watch on the northern sky.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
DAY 4
Sled Dog Tour into the Mountains with Outdoor Lunch and Ice Fishing

Cover around 60 kms on this run. On returning to the kennels say goodbye to Ylva and her huskies and head back to the cabins for your last evening.
Enjoy Johan’s fine cooking for the last time and all the facilities at this small retreat that makes it a very special place. Time stands still up here so it will feel like you have been away forever!

Night in World Famous Ice Hotel

The hotel has two editions:
Permanent ICEHOTEL 365. (open all year)

Temporary ICEHOTEL (open Mid December – End March)
This hotel is rebuilt from blocks of ice harvested from the Torne river. As the temperature in Jukkasjärvi drops below zero Ice Artists arrive from the world over to build this magnificent creation. They build the 4 levels of rooms, the ice chapel and ice bar. Their art is created with imagination and hard work, only to melt away under the unforgiving rays of the sun come spring.

Where You'll Stay
Arctic Gourmet Wilderness Cabins
Arctic Gourmet Wilderness Cabins
This is the inspiration of husband and wife team Johan and Malin who have developed a totally unique concept. They have 2 cosy wilderness cabins adjacent to the smallest restaurant in Sweden - where Johan acts as a private chef to our guests.
Arctic Gourmet Wilderness Cabins are new builds and combine wilderness with creature comforts not normally associated with a wilderness experience.
Situated in a picturesque valley they are perfectly placed for guests to combine both a northern lights and arctic adventure. For those of you that appreciate good food, meals prepared and served in the smallest restaurant in Sweden are a delight.
There are two cosy double bedded cabins with large glass windows facing north towards the northern lights horizon. Modern styling includes satellite TV!
There is an adjacent toilet and shower block and an outdoor hot tub which guests are invited to use.
After dinner sit around the outdoor fire, gaze at the stars and hopefully the aurora, enjoy a hot drink or a whisky and appreciate how special it is to own a piece of Lapland for moment in time!
Being away from it all in your own private space with the auroras roaring overhead is simply breath-taking and the perfect special occasion retreat!
