Dog-sledding

Klocka, Sweden, an old farming village on the shore of lake Annsjon is the perfectly beautiful setting for enjoying this unusual and powerful experience. It’s impossible not to marvel at the raw power, enthusiasm and good nature of the huskies as they start pulling your sled through the patchy forest and into the Vallrun hills north-east of Klocka. The distant mountains of Sylarna and Bunnerfjallen frame the wonderful (and cold) journey through the Jamtland region.

You can also go trout fishing and elk hunting but when you have enough of feeling adventurous you can treat your frozen body to a traditional swedish sauna at the Klocka Fjällgård, a uniquely stylish lodge located on a 350-hectare private estate in Jämtland.

Best season for dog-sledding: mid December to late April
