Cédric has been passionate about dogs since early childhood.
The turning point came when I was 25.
He leaves behind a long career as a chef in Michelin-starred restaurants to devote himself entirely to his passion.
Sled dogs then became his daily leitmotif.
His dogs are his life, his guiding principle.
Cédric, your musher host, will guide you through the landscapes of Swedish Lapland. He will also delight your taste buds with delicious dishes he prepares himself.
A lifelong animal lover, she worked for several years in the horse racing industry before changing her life and settling in Swedish Lapland. Today, she lives surrounded by sled dogs and personally guides travelers on activities and hikes. She enjoys sharing her simple life in the heart of nature, introducing people to the region, and meeting people from diverse backgrounds. Always curious, she also loves discovering new things and learning from others.

The Cédric team
This family-run business has been driven by the passion of our local expert, Cédric, and Lisa for the past ten years. A former chef, Cédric chose the Far North to provide an idyllic setting for his sled dogs. Lisa, for her part, left the world of horse racing to share her love of the Swedish landscape. Together, they offer an authentic experience: Cédric guides the husky teams while Lisa leads the expeditions, hikes, and snowshoeing trips.
