Husky-Hike around Abisko

Explore the untouched wilderness around Abisko and enjoy incredible views while learning about the life of a musher and everything there is to know about sleddogs. This is a guided hiking tour in which each guest will get their own husky. And yes, they will actually pull you!

What to expect:

We are meeting at the Mountain Lodge Parking Lot, easily accessible from Abisko Östra. After a short introduction, we will pick up the dogs at the dog yard.  You will be connected with a NonStop-Trekkingbelt and a bungee-leash that enables you to have your hands free to take lots of pictures. At the half-way point,  we will take a longer break, during which you will be able to cuddle the dogs and give them treats. The hiking distance is approximately 5 km, depending on the speed and endurance of the participants.

Type of hiking: Moderate hiking on and off hiking trails. You have to be stable on your feet.

Starting times:

From June to September

5 days a week

Starting at 14:00 until 16:00

You can book your tour until 10:30 on the same day.

What to bring:

Ensure you come well-prepared with appropriate footwear. Hiking-Boots with ankle support are the ideal choice so you are able to enjoy the hike fully. You are welcome to bring treats for the dogs, but there will be some for you to give to the huskies on the tour as well.

Weather:

The tour will take place in all weather conditions (rain, wind or snowfall). The only reason for canceling a tour would be a risk to the health of guests or dogs. Understand that because the wellbeing of the dogs is incredibly important, unusually hot temperatures for the area could lead to a cancellation of the tour.

Can I join the tour without having a husky pull me?

Yes, If you don't feel confident with a dog pulling you or you are not stable on your feet, you can still join the tour.
