  • Is it likely to see a moose in Swedish Lapland?

    Yes, it is very likely, but seeing one depends heavily on how, when, and where you look. There are an estimated 50,000 moose roaming in the forests and river valleys of Swedish Lapland. However, because Lapland is massive and the animals are naturally shy, they don’t just stand on street corners waiting.

    The probability of spotting the “King of the Forest” changes based on the following factors:

    • The Time of Day
      • Moose are crepuscular, meaning they are most active during dawn and dusk. During the middle of the day, they rest deep in the thick pine forests to stay cool and hidden. If you go driving around dawn and dusk it is easier to spot them.
    • The Season
      • Winter : Due the white snow it is easier to spot the moose in nature. Deep snow pushes moose out of the mountains and into the river valleys looking for food. Because the snow in the forest is deep, they love to walk along the edges of plowed country roads.
      • Summer: They spread out much more. However, they love water. You are likely to see them standing in shallow wetlands, marshes, or swimming across lakes at dusk to eat aquatic plants.
      • Autumn: September and October is the moose breeding season, the bulls are more active and hiding less, what will higher your chance to see them.
    • Wild vs. Guaranteed Sightings
      • Spotting a wild moose is based on luck and knowledge.  If you want a 100% guaranteed, up-close encounter where you can actually pet and feed them, you can visit a specialized wildlife park like Cape Wild in Luleå.

    A Note on Road Safety: Because moose are so common in Lapland, they are a major traffic hazard. If you are driving around Piteå or up toward Kiruna, always keep a sharp eye on the tree line, especially where you see the red-and-yellow moose warning signs!

Do you offer cross country ski tours?

Currently, we do not offer any cross-country ski tours. But we are more than happy to arrange an occasion for you to try it out, and we can help with rental equipment, locations, and/or trail fees.

You can contact us with any questions about cross country ski.

Where do we eat our meals?

It depends entirely on the weather and the tour! We always prioritize your comfort and safety while ensuring you get an authentic taste of Lapland.

Depending on the conditions, your lunch will be served in one of three settings:

  • Beautiful Wooden Grill Hut: For our dogsledding tours, we have a gorgeous, traditional wooden hut available. It is the perfect, warm retreat where you can sit comfortably, escape the winter chill, and enjoy a relaxed, seated lunch around a fire.
  • Out on the Trail: If the weather let us, we love to eat directly out on the trail! Swedish Lapland has a wonderful scenic grilling spots, open-fire pits, and wind-shelters. Our guides know the absolute best spots with the most beautiful views to pause, build a fire, and cook.
  • A Cozy Local Restaurant (Our Weather Backup): While we love outdoor dining, safety and comfort always come first. If the weather turns exceptionally harsh—such as extreme cold or pouring rain—we will pivot to a local restaurant along our route instead. We carefully select partners that match the quality of our tours so you can still enjoy a fantastic, meal in complete comfort.

Is dogsledding suitable for children?

Yes, dogsledding is a wonderful experience for children! Kids usually fall in love with the huskies instantly, and our friendly dogs absolutely love the extra attention and cuddles.

However, because the Arctic winter requires extra care for the little ones, we have a few important guidelines to ensure everyone stays safe and warm:

The Perfect Tour for Little Adventurers

For families with younger children, we highly recommend our 5km Dogsledding Tour. Sitting still on a sled can get very cold, and because children lose body heat faster than adults, a shorter tour is the perfect way to experience the magic without getting uncomfortable.

Age Recommendations

Children are very welcome on our standard tours from the age of 2 and up. If you have a child younger than 2 years old but still want to experience dogsledding, please contact us directly! We will do our best to find a customized, safe solution for your family.

Weather conditions

Your family’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. If the weather conditions on the day of your tour are too rough or cold for children, we will reach out to you beforehand to find a good solution for the entire family.

Related FAQ

  • Can you drive your own team of dogs?

    Yes, but it depends on the tour you book! At Direct North, we offer two different ways to experience the magic of dogsledding in Piteå:

    • Riding as a Passenger (Dogsledding 5km and 12km): On most of our regular tours you get to sit back and take in the stunning snowy landscapes. While you are comfortable on the sledge our experienced guides will share fascinating insights about the dogs. How the team works together and the local surroundings.
    • Driving Your Own Team (The Mushing Day): If you want to feel the thrill of steering the sled yourself, you can book our exclusive Mushing Day. This tour is carefully structured to make sure you feel confident and safe:
      • First Half: You will start the day riding as a passenger. During this ride, your guide will explain exactly how to drive the sled and what important signs to look out for on the trail.
      • Lunch: We will head back to enjoy a lovely lunch cooked over the open fire in our wooden hut.
      • Second Half: After lunch, it is your turn to step onto the runners and be a real musher!

    Safety & Age Requirements

    Please note that there is a minimum age requirement for the Mushing Day tour. Additionally, the safety and well-being of our guests, guides, and dogs always come first. If weather or trail conditions create an unsafe situation, our guides are obligated to adapt the program to provide a fitted, safe solution for everyone.

    Related FAQ

    • What dog breed do you have at the kennel?

      We currently mainly have Alaskan Huskies. These are the ultimate endurance runners. They are not a registered purebred but are specifically bred for their incredible stamina, speed, and friendly, hardworking character. They love attention and are very affectionate.

      Related FAQ

      • Do the dogs really like pulling the sled?

        They absolutely love it.  Our dogs are born and bred to run; it is in their DNA. You will see their incredible enthusiasm the moment we start harnessing them—they bark, jump, and cannot wait to get moving. The moment the brake is released, the barking stops, and they settle into a focused silence. Our dogs are beloved members of our family, and their health and happiness are our top priorities.

    • Do the dogs really like pulling the sled?

      They absolutely love it.  Our dogs are born and bred to run; it is in their DNA. You will see their incredible enthusiasm the moment we start harnessing them—they bark, jump, and cannot wait to get moving. The moment the brake is released, the barking stops, and they settle into a focused silence. Our dogs are beloved members of our family, and their health and happiness are our top priorities.

  • Is the Northern light tour suitable for kids?

    We believe our Northern Lights tours are suitable for children aged 8 years and older.

    This recommendation is because our Northern Lights tours take place late in the evening, which often results in younger children falling asleep in the car. Additionally, the temperatures usually drop significantly in the evening/night. Since we spend most of the time watching the sky, it can be very cold for the children.

    From the age of 8, a child’s interest is usually higher, and they can be involved in activities like making a fire, for example.

    If you are on holiday with younger children, please feel free to contact us. We would be happy to discuss the possibility of a private tour. With a private tour, we can easily adjust the timing and pace to your family’s needs, ensuring everyone stays happy throughout the tour.

    Related FAQ

    • Why should we go on a Northern light tour?

      Seeing the Northern Lights is more than just watching through your window or stepping outside for one minute. Even when there is a possibility of seeing the Aurora, it does not mean they are visible from every location or at every hour of the evening. Many factors play a role in whether you will see the lights from your current spot or the location you visit.

      Your guide has the tools and experience to find the best location to watch this light show. Factors like light pollution, cloud coverage, and more will influence the guide’s decision to go to a specific place.

      In addition to finding the right spot, your guide can change plans when necessary to increase your chances of seeing the lights. When sudden weather changes occur, your guide has the possibility to switch to a different location or decide to stay put. It is also possible that you will see more than just the Aurora, such as animal tracks or even a moose! Your guide will share information about all of these different subjects, ensuring it will most likely be a fun evening out with a great chance to see the Northern Lights.

    • When is a good time to see the Northern lights?

  • Is winter in Lapland suitable for young kids?

    Yes, winter in lapland is suitable for young kids!

    However, winter can be more tricky due to the cold temperatures. As a family with young kids ourselves, we draw from our own experience and recommend an adjusted program. This ensures the experience stays fun for everyone—including both parents and children.

Can you drive your own team of dogs?

Yes, but it depends on the tour you book! At Direct North, we offer two different ways to experience the magic of dogsledding in Piteå:

  • Riding as a Passenger (Dogsledding 5km and 12km): On most of our regular tours you get to sit back and take in the stunning snowy landscapes. While you are comfortable on the sledge our experienced guides will share fascinating insights about the dogs. How the team works together and the local surroundings.
  • Driving Your Own Team (The Mushing Day): If you want to feel the thrill of steering the sled yourself, you can book our exclusive Mushing Day. This tour is carefully structured to make sure you feel confident and safe:

    • Do the dogs really like pulling the sled?

      They absolutely love it.  Our dogs are born and bred to run; it is in their DNA. You will see their incredible enthusiasm the moment we start harnessing them—they bark, jump, and cannot wait to get moving. The moment the brake is released, the barking stops, and they settle into a focused silence. Our dogs are beloved members of our family, and their health and happiness are our top priorities.

Is the Northern light tour suitable for kids?

We believe our Northern Lights tours are suitable for children aged 8 years and older.

This recommendation is because our Northern Lights tours take place late in the evening, which often results in younger children falling asleep in the car. Additionally, the temperatures usually drop significantly in the evening/night. Since we spend most of the time watching the sky, it can be very cold for the children.

From the age of 8, a child’s interest is usually higher, and they can be involved in activities like making a fire, for example.

If you are on holiday with younger children, please feel free to contact us. We would be happy to discuss the possibility of a private tour. With a private tour, we can easily adjust the timing and pace to your family’s needs, ensuring everyone stays happy throughout the tour.

Related FAQ

  • Why should we go on a Northern light tour?

    Seeing the Northern Lights is more than just watching through your window or stepping outside for one minute. Even when there is a possibility of seeing the Aurora, it does not mean they are visible from every location or at every hour of the evening. Many factors play a role in whether you will see the lights from your current spot or the location you visit.

    Your guide has the tools and experience to find the best location to watch this light show. Factors like light pollution, cloud coverage, and more will influence the guide’s decision to go to a specific place.

    In addition to finding the right spot, your guide can change plans when necessary to increase your chances of seeing the lights. When sudden weather changes occur, your guide has the possibility to switch to a different location or decide to stay put. It is also possible that you will see more than just the Aurora, such as animal tracks or even a moose! Your guide will share information about all of these different subjects, ensuring it will most likely be a fun evening out with a great chance to see the Northern Lights.

What if you dont see the Northern lights?

The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, which means we cannot control them. However, we do our best to use our expertise to give you a high chance of seeing the Northern Lights.

If you do not see the Northern Lights, you will still return to your accommodation with a lot of knowledge about the Aurora and the surrounding area. We have organized the tour in such a way that it is still an amazing night out even if the lights do not appear.

If the chance of seeing the Northern Lights is zero, we will try to find a different place to visit within the three hours or reschedule the tour within your travel dates.

What camera do I need to capture the Northern lights?

Any camera with manual settings (shutter speed) and a tripod will work perfectly. During the tour, we can help you with the settings if necessary.

It is good to keep in mind that the cold drains batteries fast, so bring an extra battery and keep it in an inside pocket close to your body heat!

If you only have a phone, these are often capable of capturing the Northern Lights as well (depending on the brand and model) when used with a tripod.

During the Northern Lights tour, we have one tripod available for guest use.
