Description
Discover Lapland’s changing scenery alongside its huskies, with an experience adapted to the season. In winter, travel through snowy surroundings by sled; during autumn or periods with too little snow, follow the route by dog-pulled cart. In summer, visit a husky farm near Rovaniemi and learn about the dogs and their way of life.
Itinerary
Winter ride: After pickup in central Rovaniemi, travel to a farm on the city’s outskirts. Meet the huskies and hear from a knowledgeable guide about their habits and life in a cold climate. Following a safety briefing, set off on a 7–10 km ride through the snowy landscape. Back at the farm, warm up by a fire; depending on the season, hot drinks and gingerbread are offered. The activity ends with drop-off at the Rovaniemi meeting point, around 3 to 3.5 hours after it begins.
Autumn cart ride: When snow conditions do not allow a sled ride, cover the same route in a cart pulled by huskies.
Summer farm visit: A pickup from your accommodation takes you to a farm about 30 minutes from Rovaniemi. During a guided visit, meet the Alaskan huskies and learn about their daily routines, training and the culture of Lapland. If the temperature is below 15°C, take an 800-metre cart ride, with the guide driving. Afterwards, spend time with the dogs and, if available, their puppies, then share drinks and snacks. Return to your accommodation after approximately three hours.
