Drive your own team to the Fjellborg Wilderness Lodge.
2-day program.

This two-day program begins at Kiruna Airport, 200km north of the Arctic Circle, where guests are greeted by guides from Fjellborg Arctic Journeys. After a short transfer you arrive at the Homestead in Poikkijärvi where the Fjellborg family live together with their large pack of friendly huskies. Beautifully situated overlooking the Torne River, the Homestead is an ideal gateway to the vast wilderness of Arctic Lapland.

At the Homestead you will be outfitted with quality arctic gear and become acquainted with your own dog team. Before departure you will receive instructions in how to handle your sled and other equipment. In the afternoon we set out on our excursion which will take us from the Homestead in Poikkijärvi to the Fjellborg Wilderness Lodge situated by Lake Väkkärä, 15 km further north. Driving your own team of sled dogs through the snow clad forests of northern Lapland is a very special and memorable experience.

When we reach the beautifully situated Wilderness Lodge your dogs are treated to a well deserved rest in their private doghouses, which you will help fill up with fresh straw before enjoying a relaxing wood heated sauna. In the evening a delicious dinner is served in the main building. Far from roads and city skylines, the comfortable Wilderness Lodge provides a peaceful break from everyday life.

The next morning we enjoy a big breakfast before we go out to feed our four legged friends. On this second day of mushing we have plenty of time to enjoy the winter wonderland and perhaps spot some wildlife too! Around noon we stop for a delicious lunch served inside a kåta, which is the name of the tipi-style dwelling originally used by the indigenous Sami people.

The last leg of our journey takes us back to the Fjellborg Homestead in Poikkijärvi where it is time to say goodbye to the dogs. The program is completed in the early afternoon and guests who are departing from Kiruna Airport on the same day will receive a transfer to the airport. It is worth noting that the world famous ICEHOTEL in Jukkasjärvi is situated only a few minutes away. A popular choice among our guests is to add a few extra days to their holiday in Lapland by including a visit to nearby ICEHOTEL.
