Children 12 and under are half price – so this is a great trip for families. Depending on the child’s height, weight and competence those 13 to 15 years old may be able to drive a shared sled for short periods. Even those 16+ are assessed. Younger children (7 to 12) will travel in their parents or guides sled although it may be possible for even those youngsters to drive briefly. With younger children it is possibly best to book late season trips when it is a bit warmer!

The accommodation on this weekend winter holiday in Sweden is in cabins in bunk beds with no running water. Heating is provided by a wood burning stove and lighting by candles. The loo is outside. It is a ‘hands on’ trip where you are actively encouraged to look after your dogs, i.e. feed and water them and bed them down for the night (under supervision), fetch water, chop wood so you get the true feeling of being a ‘musher’.
A visit to the Ice Hotel can be possible before or after this trip depending on your flight schedule. This must be booked in advance and paid locally in Swedish Krone (around £45). It’s worth a visit just to see the sculptures and a good opportunity to take photos.
You can also add extra days igloo building, snowmobile adventures, cross-country skiing, reindeer farm visit, ice fishing and more …. according to how much time you have to spare. Ask for details or see the ‘Swedish Lapland Adventures’ on the multi-activity page of our website.
