With huskies we will cover nearly 300 kilometres in perhaps one of Sweden’s most mythical areas, varied with high mountains, deep valleys, old forests and winding rivers.
Our journey goes from Saltoluokta, through Sarek National Park, past Sweden’s most inaccessible point and down along the Padjelanta trail to Kvikkjokk. From this little mountain village we head north, along the well known King’s trail and go back to Saltoluokta Mountain Station.
The sunset’s, the taste of fresh made reindeer stew, the companionship with the dogs and the feeling of lying in a warm sleeping bag while the snowstorm is roaring outside the tent are memories you never want to be without!


Day 1 Arrival to Saltoluokta Mountain Station

We meet and give you information about the program for the following days. Together we have a nice dinner and check the equipment.


Day 2 Rissajaure, on the border to the tundra
The morning starts by the fireplace in the restaurant with a delicious breakfast buffet with home baked bread directly from the oven. After breakfast we pack everything we need for the week in our sleds and you get instructions in how to drive and handle your team of huskies. Together we harness the dogs and put them in front of the sleds and get the teams are ready for take off.
This first day we head for Rissajaure where we are going to set a tent camp for our first night. The stage for the day are relatively short but it’s a lot of new things to learn, how to take care of the dogs, how to set up a tent etc. Everything takes time in the beginning before all routines fall into place. We fetch water in a stream and if needed we dig snow walls for the tent. The area is nice for a short snowshoe walk if you like.


Day 3-5 Through Sarek National Park
We travel through Sarek National Park to the southwest. We go down to the upper end of Rapavalley, Sarvesvagge or Alkavagge towards Padjelanta. The weather and snow conditions will decide our exact route these days. Since there are no accessible cabins in Sarek we have to rely on our tents, which will make us more free and independent in our choices.


Day 6-8 Tarradalen
We go down through the upper Tarravalley by the Tarraluopal cabins. From here we will follow the Padjelanta trail down through the Tarravalley to Kvikkjokk, a small mountain village by the end of the road. From Kvikkjokk we head north along the King’s Trail back to Saltoluokta. In these days we will travel along marked trails with the possibility to spend the nights in nice cabins.


Day 9  Back to the civilization
From the Sitojaure cabins we travel up over the bare mountain back to Saltoluokta. During this your last day with the dogs you will be amazed about your progress as a musher. Arrival to Saltoluokta Mountain Station. Here we will enjoy a hot sauna, warm showers and a delicious dinner in the restaurant.
