Overview

Surrounded by the raw and natural beauty of Lapland, Finland, this experience offers a unique adventure with our husky team. Have you ever ridden an open husky sled? The thrill is incomparable. And you’ll be in control—yes, you’ll be the musher (the driver) of the husky sled! The only requirement is to be over 18 years old, but younger guests can join as passengers in the back seat.

Your fairytale—“dashing through the snow in a husky open sleigh”—begins here. Instead of bells, the dogs’ excited barks will jingle as they eagerly follow the trail through the vast, snow-covered Lapland forests. It’s truly magical, a dream come to life.

As a bonus, you’ll also have the chance to meet and enjoy the company of our friendly farm animals along the way.

Pickup point
Pickup details

We will pick you up from any location in radius up to 10 kilometers around Rovaniemi city center.Note: the transfer to the kennel is 1 hour from Rovaniemi in one direction!

What To Expect

Our guide with a minivan will take you from your accommodation in Rovaniemi to visit a husky kennel and other animals (Reindeers, Lapland Horses, Ducks, Sheep's, Lapland Ponies and more). There you will be instructed how to lead the sled safely. And you will be assigned a sled only after they check your clothes – they must be warm enough and windproof to survive the arctic temperatures, combined with the speed of the dogs.

And your fairy tale...”dashing through the snow in a Husky open Sleigh” begins. Instead of bells the dogs’ barking will jingle, while they enthusiastically follow the trail through the crude, white-clad Lapland forests. It’s really fantastic, a dream come true.

When the expedition is over, you will sit by the open fire, tired of positive emotions, and listen to the mushers in the kennel, who will share how they live and train the dogs. They will gladly answer all your questions.
