The Lapland Husky Trail

8th March 2024 - 15th March 2024

OVERVIEW

 

Join us on this most unique of charity events as you spend six days sledding through the Swedish wilderness on an experience you will never forget.

Our charity challenge is to sled over 240km across Sweden through untouched nature, and celebrate our achievements at the world famous Ice Hotel! Our challenge begins in Kiruna, where you make your way to the Husky Lodge for dinner, a challenge briefing and most importantly to meet our four-legged friends who will be your closest companions for the duration of your challenge!.

This charity challenge is suitable for beginners to sledding as full training will be given – all you need to join our challenge is a thirst for extreme adventure! This is no ordinary charity challenge – you will be required to erect your own tent, cook for yourself and fulfil all camping duties with the equipment provided. In addition to looking after yourself, you’ll also be responsible for looking after your teams of huskies – be assured, this is a true, “hands on” wilderness challenge!

Watching the Northern Lights and tending to your dogs will give you an experience of living as the Laplanders do. This is one of our most popular charity challenges and is oversubscribed year-on-year… a truly unforgettable experience awaits you.
