Your experience

Few experiences capture the magic of Lapland like husky sledding. Whether you’re looking for a short introduction or a longer self-drive safari, this tour lets you connect with huskies, glide through snowy landscapes, and discover the traditions of Arctic sled dog life.

Getting started

Your adventure begins with a convenient pick-up from Rovaniemi City Center or your hotel, depending on your location. Once at the husky farm, you’ll be welcomed by your professional guide and fitted with winter overalls, boots, and gloves. Before heading out, you’ll enjoy a briefing on safety, sled driving, and what to expect during the ride.

The husky ride

The heart of the experience is the sled ride itself. Depending on the tour you choose, you might enjoy a short introductory 800m ride, a 5km guided safari, or a longer self-driven journey of up to 10km through frozen forests and snowy trails. On self-drive tours, you’ll share a sled with another adult, taking turns as driver and passenger. For those who prefer to sit back and relax, guided rides are also available.

Meet the huskies

After the ride, you’ll have time to meet the huskies, take photos, and learn more about their lives as sled dogs. Friendly and energetic, the dogs love attention and are eager for cuddles. Your guide will share stories about their training, daily routines, and the long history of huskies in Lapland culture.

Comfort and refreshments

To keep warm, you’ll be served hot drinks and light snacks, such as biscuits or Fazer chocolate, often inside a cozy kota or around a fire. Small-group sizes ensure a relaxed, personal experience where you can ask questions and take your time with the dogs.

A tour for everyone

With multiple variants to choose from, short and family-friendly or longer and adventurous, there’s an option to suit every traveler. No matter which you select, everything is taken care of: transfers, winter clothing, guiding, and refreshments are included, so you can simply enjoy your time with the huskies.
