Your experience

Experience the thrill of mushing your own team of huskies through frozen forests and wide-open snowfields on a 7km to 10km adventure.

Getting started

Your adventure begins with a transfer from Rovaniemi to the husky farm, where you’re greeted by excited dogs eager to run. After slipping into the provided winter clothing, your guide will give a full briefing on how to drive the sled safely, balance in different conditions, and work as a team with the huskies. No prior experience is required — just enthusiasm and a willingness to learn.

The sled ride

With two adults per sled, you’ll take turns driving and riding as a passenger. Once the team surges forward, the only sounds are the runners gliding over snow and the huskies’ rhythmic breaths. Covering 7km to 10km over 60 to 75 minutes, the ride takes you through snowy forests and open Arctic landscapes, offering plenty of moments to swap drivers and pause for photos.

Kennel visit & husky life

After the ride, you’ll spend time at the kennel, where the guides share stories about husky training, daily life, and the deep bond between mushers and their dogs. This is also your chance to meet the huskies up close, take photos, and learn about their role in Lapland’s culture and traditions.

Comfort & hospitality

To warm up, you’ll be served hot drinks, Fazer chocolate, and light snacks in a cozy setting at the farm. Your tour ends with an easy transfer back to Rovaniemi, leaving you with the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and authentic Arctic memories.

Enjoy a 7km self-driving husky safari with transfers, winter gear, a guide, hot drinks, and hands-on time with the dogs.

Learn the basics of mushing from your English-speaking guide and meet the husky team before setting off.
