Full day dog sledding tours
A full day dog sledding tour is a fantastic way to experience Åre’s winter landscapes and enjoy the fresh mountain air. The tours often pass through beautiful forests and across frozen lakes. You’ll get to see Åre’s mountain scenery from a new perspective and experience the teamwork between the dogs and the musher. Many full day tours include a lunch break outdoors, often with grilled sausages over an open fire and hot chocolate.
Evening dog sledding tours
If you want something extra special, you can choose an evening dog sledding tour. These tours usually last 1-2 hours and have a calmer pace than the daytime tours. Travelling through the moonlit winter landscape is magical, and if the sky is clear and conditions are right, you may even catch a glimpse of the northern lights.
What should I wear on a dog sledding tour?
To stay warm and comfortable, it’s important to dress properly. Since you’ll be sitting still in the sled, you need to wear warm layers. Choose thermal clothing, a warm hat, gloves, and a scarf. Sturdy winter boots are also recommended to keep your feet warm and dry.
The dogs that pull the sled
In Åre, dog sledding teams are usually made up of Alaskan Huskies or Siberian Huskies. These energetic breeds are strong, enduring, and thrive in cold climates, making them perfect for sledding. The dogs are well cared for by their mushers and get the exercise and rest they need. Pulling the sled is their job, but they also get plenty of time to play and socialise with other dogs.
