What makes Siberian Huskies good for dog sledding?
Siberian Huskies are powerful and resilient dogs with excellent stamina, ideally suited to the low temperatures of the Lapland winter. They have a dense undercoat and a soft outer coat, which can cope with temperatures down to -50 degrees C or less! (Don’t worry – you are very unlikely to encounter temperatures this low during your dogsled tour!) With their strong pack attributes, Siberian Huskies work well together in a team and are intelligent and trainable. Given the considerable energy they expend on the trail, Siberian Huskies eat surprisingly little, reducing the need to carry so much heavy and bulky food during a tour. Travelling through the winter landscape on an extended tour in command of your own dogsled team is an unforgettable experience. You may begin with the expectation that it will be the thrill of dog sledding itself, the deep Arctic winter, perhaps even a spectacular display of the Northern Lights, that stays most in your memory from your dog sledding holiday in Swed
