As of 1 April 2022, Mats Pettersson has taken over the Snowtrail Dogcamp from Lotti Meier. Lotti Meier has run the Snowtrail Dogcamp for 28 years and made it what it is today.
Life in the far north did not only offer sunny days for her. But it is precisely this circumstance that has shaped her into a lovable and exciting personality. Not only her family, her friends and the guests of the lodge appreciate this - but also the media. Lotti has left a lasting mark on the DNA of the Snowtrail Dogcamp.
Lotti has been visited by the press time and again and numerous articles have been published in the various media as well as a book about her.
Here you can find some of the reports that have been published:
Press release on the handover of the baton at Snowtrail Dogcamp
With one eye crying and one eye laughing, I would like to inform you that after 28 years I have handed over the baton, i.e. the management of the Snowtrail Dogcamp, to my successor Mats Pettersson in mid-April. 
The weeping eye refers to my many loyal clients, my long-time team, my faithful dogs, the wonderful and helpful neighbours and the unique landscape and nature up here in Swedish Lapland. I will miss all this very much.
The smiling eye looks at my successor Mats Pettersson, who has taken over the Snowtrail Dogcamp and will continue in my spirit. Mats Pettersson is an experienced musher from Kiruna. Among other things, he is a 6-time finisher of the Iditarod race in Alaska, the toughest and longest dog sled race in the world. This year he also stayed in Alaska until the end of March to prepare for the race. You can reach Mats Pettersson at:

On the road with Husky & Co. in the nordic winter
"Dogs in the city" is a topic of conversation that can lead to lively and controversial discussions even among friends. But when Lotti Meier, the operator of the "Snowtrail Dogcamp" in Swedish Lapland, invites to the Husky-ABC at her lodge, which lies lonely in the wide forests of the province Norrbottenslän, even the biggest dog grouch gets into raptures.
