My Journey to Lapland for a Husky Sledding Adventure



That's when my sister showed me a website for a 5-day husky sledding tour in Lapland, and I knew I had to book it. A few days later, I went to Amsterdam and booked my trip from January 27th to February 3rd. I packed my gear and set off on the adventure of a lifetime.

When I arrived in Lapland, I was surprised to find that it wasn't as cold as I expected. After getting off the bus, I was greeted by the sounds of huskies howling, which was a real thrill. The next day, the sledding adventure began. I was paired with three Germans, two Swiss, a Frenchman, and a Finnish guide. I was in charge of a sled with four huskies, and we were off, exploring the stunning white landscapes of Lapland.

Along the way, we would stop to rest and have a hot meal, cooked by the guide. I particularly enjoyed the reindeer meat, which was delicious. At night, we would stay in wooden cabins, and although I did have to brave the cold to use the outdoor toilet, it was all worth it for the experience.

One of the highlights of the trip was seeing the Northern Lights. We were standing by a lake surrounded by trees, and the lights danced overhead. It was a breathtaking sight, and I felt grateful to have captured it with my camera.

The sledding journey took us over rivers and through dense forests. During dinner, the guide would share stories about the history and culture of the land. After returning to the resort for two more nights, I said goodbye to Lapland and headed back to the Netherlands.

This husky sledding adventure was truly one of a kind, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. If you're looking for an exciting way to experience the beauty of Lapland, I highly recommend giving husky sledding a try. Just remember to pack warm and be prepared for an unforgettable journey.
