Exclusive Mountain Tour
Exclusive Mountain Tour
The Exclusive Mountain Tour will begin higher up in Ottsjö village, where the scenery is truly breathtaking. Before we set off, your guide will provide you with a short course on driving a dog sled followed by a short health and safety talk. You will also have an opportunity to meet all the dogs, after which you will jump on your sled and we will start preparing for the journey by hooking the dogs up in their rightful positions.
Our exclusive tour really offers a magical experience. To the east, you will be able to see the mountain ranges of Storulån (Great Wolf River) and Selina. During the tour we will stop for fika (Swedish coffee and cake) and an opportunity for photos, before making our way back to the starting point via a different route. You are sure to be left with a lasting memory coupled with the excitement of your heart pumping and the dogs eagerly pulling you through the frozen landscape. On some occations we make our way to Hållfjället Mountain Station.
Extra information
In general, no prior experience is needed to drive the sleds. All drivers and passengers will receive the correct amount of dogs for their weight. A balanced ratio will be applied so we do not overload our sleds.
Due to the fact that dog sledding is an active sport, it is an advantage to have a good fitness level. For instance, our dogs may need your assistance to get up hills.
Clothing
Good clothing and equipment is absolutely essential to making to most of your tour – especially in the mountains where the weather changes quickly. Please carefully read our Tour Kit List before your visit.
We are very particular about health and safety. Our aim is to provide you with a high quality tour, thus leaving you with a positive experience.
Insurance
We do advise you to take out your own personal insurance which should include a cancellation policy, in case the weather does cause a problem. Subsequently, if you wear expensive clothing or bring expensive equipment, we advise you to take out a policy which will cover any accidental damage or loss.

VoyageurDuNord_012023-03-19An unforgettable experience A very well organised excursion in a wonderful landscape. It was our friend's dream to be able to do this tour and the organisers fulfilled their wish. Both guides were very efficients and careful to make the tour engraved in our memory.All the best from France and Sweden
Adelaide N2023-02-15An unbeatable dog sledding adventure Despite unusually poor snow conditions in the area the team at Wild Spirit worked hard to ensure that our dog sledding experience could continue, proposing an alternative, beautiful route. The dogs were amazing, and the team welcoming, friendly and very helpful to our bunch of dog sledding beginners. It was an exhilarating adventure that has made our holiday in the Are area. Not to be missed.
Jessica H2023-01-06Best Part of My Trip! This was the highlight of my trip to Sweden. Richard and his team showed the upmost professionalism and care.The dogs were lovely and ready to go! They take time to explain everything to you so if you have no prior experience, it'll be totally okay!Our safety was always first and learning how to use the sled was easy!What impressed me the most was the Richard's and Claire's fun personalities. Conversation was great and coming back to the Kennel and meeting the rest of the dogs was nice! We won't ever forget how they helped us when we ran into an emergency AFTER our visit. I know there's other dog sledding companies to chose from but you really must pick Wild Spirit for both their dogs and their humans!
