Husky-sledding in Finnish and Norwegian lapland

For many, Lapland’s idyllic landscapes will provide a welcome relief to the Christmas frenzy

You’ve feasted on turkey and you’re full of mince pies, the Christmas tree is about to come down and there’s a list of thank-you letters to be written. Throughout the post-Christmas lull, chances are that Lapland won’t be on your mind. But it really should be, according to Activities Abroad.

For many, Lapland’s idyllic landscapes will provide a welcome relief to the Christmas frenzy. All Santa-seeking families will be gone for another year, leaving behind a Lapland free from the crowds. Team up with a handful of huskies on a dog-sledding adventure, and you’ll find yourself getting fit and seeing Lapland at its very best – empty and enticing – as the days get longer and temperatures increase.

Activities Abroad offers a complete range of husky-sledding trips across both Finnish and Norwegian Lapland. The level of intensity differs – from an overnight trip to a hardcore 250km safari – as does the accommodation, ranging from wilderness cabins (with traditional saunas) to an ice-locked schooner.
