Step into the magical Arctic wilderness with a 10 km husky sled adventure in Rovaniemi. Your journey begins with pickup in a brand new van, ensuring a warm, smooth, and comfortable ride to a private husky farm. Before setting off, you’ll be fitted with warm winter clothing, gloves, and boots to stay cozy throughout the adventure. Along the way, your guide shares fascinating stories about the dogs, their care, training, and the vital role huskies have played in Arctic life.
Upon arrival, meet the excited huskies and receive a short tutorial on sled handling and commands, perfect for first-timers and experienced mushers alike. The husky farm is run by an active husky sled racing competitor, giving you a unique glimpse into the world of competitive mushing. Embark on your 10 km husky safari, driving your own sled team for 25–35 minutes. You’ll switch drivers halfway, experiencing both the thrill of guiding the sled and the joy of relaxing as a passenger. The trail winds through quiet, private forests where the only sounds are paws on snow and the glide of the sled. Photography enthusiasts will love the opportunity to capture the huskies before and after the ride, and your guide can take action shots as you set off.
After your ride, warm up in a traditional Lappish kota with hot drinks and local treats. Spend more time with the huskies—pet them, photograph them, and learn about their unique personalities. This is more than just a husky ride—it’s an intimate, authentic glimpse into the Arctic lifestyle, offering personal connection, adventure, and memories you won’t find on crowded tourist trails.
