From Rovaniemi: Husky Sledding Experience

Arctic adventure with huskies

Start your adventure with a convenient hotel pick-up and journey straight into a snow-covered forest for an exhilarating self-driven husky sled ride. After a warm welcome from the huskies, enjoy interacting with them, capturing memorable photos, and receiving a safety briefing. Once you're ready, take the reins and glide through the peaceful, snow-blanketed woods on a thrilling 30-45 minute safari, with a team of eager huskies leading the way. If you choose the farm visit, you'll head to a husky farm where you'll meet your sled team. Here, the sled driver will share fascinating stories about their lifestyle and the ancient tradition of sled dog racing—an essential practice for Arctic Indigenous people. Gathered around an open fire, enjoy hot drinks and cookies while the drivers explain their training methods and eagerly answer all your questions.

Upgrades and options
