Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice 2025
Discover the quieter side of Swedish Lapland.
A relaxed small-group Arctic morning — snowshoe into the forest, try traditional ice fishing on a frozen lake, and warm up beside the fire with the huskies.
-
Snowshoe Through the Forest
Move quietly between snow-laden trees for around 45 minutes, into a part of the Arctic landscape that is difficult to reach any other way.
-
Traditional Ice Fishing
Step onto a frozen lake, learn how to drill a hole through the ice and try your luck beneath the surface. Whether the fish cooperate is entirely up to them.
-
Small Groups, Slow Pace
A maximum of eight guests, mornings only. No previous experience needed - the idea is to slow down rather than rush from one thing to the next.
-
Meet the Huskies
Spend time getting to know our friendly, well-trained huskies before and after your adventure.
-
Warm Up in the Fire Hut
Partway through the tour we gather around the open fire for a hot drink and something sweet - a proper Swedish fika.
Want to experience more of the Arctic?
Many of our guests stay 2–4 days in Kiruna. Combine Arctic Wilderness with our husky experiences and save compared with booking separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Sometimes! We cannot promise it - that part is entirely up to the fish. But standing on a frozen Arctic lake with a line disappearing through the ice is an experience in itself, whatever happens below the surface.
-
Minimum age 6. Adult · Student · Child 6–12.
Small groups of up to eight, mornings only. Snowshoeing is at an easy pace over gentle terrain. Please get in touch if you have any concerns about mobility and we will talk it through.

Cancel more than 7 days before your tour and we refund you in full, less an administration charge of 3.5% (minimum 100 SEK). Between 72 hours and 7 days the fee is 50%, and inside 72 hours it is 100%. If the SMHI forecast for Kiruna falls below −30 °C on the day of your tour you may cancel whatever the notice period, and we will reschedule or refund you in full.
-
We run through a wide range of Arctic weather - it is part of the experience, and we provide the clothing to keep you warm. Our kennel sits in a valley outside Kiruna and is often several degrees colder than the town forecast suggests, which is exactly why we provide serious Arctic outer clothing rather than expecting you to bring your own.
Come dressed as warmly as you can and we will add to it - warm base layers, thick socks and sturdy footwear from you, and the outer layers from us.
Distance, route and timings can vary with snow, weather and trail conditions. We have not yet had to cancel a tour because of weather.
-
Kiruna winters can be properly cold, and our valley is usually a few degrees colder still - the clothing we provide is made for it.
We have run tours below −35 °C and have never yet cancelled one because of cold.
If the SMHI forecast for Kiruna falls below −30 °C on the day of your tour you are welcome to cancel - just email us at info@snowdog.se - and we will reschedule or refund you in full. That is your choice rather than ours: most guests come anyway, and with the right clothing it is a good deal more comfortable than the number sounds.
