What to expect

7km self-driven husky ride

Take control of your own husky team and experience the rhythm of Arctic mushing as you travel across the snowy landscape.

Features:

• The sled ride: With two adults per sled, you’ll take turns driving and riding as a passenger.

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.
