It started with the dogs
The idea behind it
For us, a great day in the mountains isn't measured by how far you hike.
It's about the laughs along the trail, the stories shared around the fire and the huskies that somehow always manage to steal the spotlight.
Abisko Hikes was created to offer something simple: small groups, genuine experiences and unforgettable moments together with some of the friendliest dogs you'll ever meet.
Every tour is personal, relaxed and shaped by the people—and dogs—that join us that day.
A different kind of life
Not every husky spends its whole life pulling sleds.
Some discover something just as rewarding: slower adventures, new friends and plenty of time to simply enjoy being a dog.
Together with our long-time partners at Abisko.net, we make sure our older huskies continue to be part of everyday life in the mountains.
For us, retirement isn't about saying goodbye.
It's about giving every dog the chance to keep doing what they love—being outdoors, meeting people and sharing new adventures.
Still part of the adventure
Every husky has a story.
Some still love to be first on the trail. Others would happily stop every hundred metres if it meant getting another cuddle.
What they all have in common is their love for people, the mountains and being outdoors.
After years of running through the Arctic, they've earned a slower pace—but they certainly haven't lost their adventurous spirit.
Walking beside them isn't just another hike. It's a chance to experience Abisko together with dogs that know these mountains better than anyone.
From first steps to lifelong companions
And when new puppies begin to explore the world, they naturally become part of it too.
From an early age, they join us on our hiking tours – learning step by step, alongside our guests and the older dogs who show them the way.
It’s a gentle introduction to the life they will grow into, where curiosity turns into confidence over time.
From curious first steps…
to experienced sled dogs…
to slower days filled with new kinds of adventures.
