Activity description

Come drive a team of huskies from Levi on this 10km / 6mi dog sledding tour. Discovering the Lappish scenery alongside these wonderful dogs will be a lifelong memory! Adventurers of all ages are welcome on this family-friendly excursion.

Levi is a popular tourist destination and ski resort located in Finnish Lapland, which is the northernmost region of Finland. Levi is not only a location for winter sports enthusiasts but also appeals to those seeking a unique experience in the Arctic Circle with its natural beauty, outdoor activities, and cultural offerings. Dog sledding is a traditional activity which is a fun way to discover the area.

For this tour, you will start by meeting your guide at the base camp in Levi (pick-up is available within a 10km radius, please specify when booking). Your experienced guide will take you through a safety briefing and dog sledding lesson. This unique excursion allows two people per sled to drive their own team of husky dogs. You will meet the adorable and energetic Alaskan Huskies and set up the sled!

Following your guide, you will set off into the snowy trails. The still and calm forest will create a peaceful atmosphere, as you take in the silence of this remote location. You will mush your own team through this winter wonderland, admiring the beautiful Arctic nature. Midway through, you will take a break. There will be time to capture some photos while enjoying the magical scenery of the Lapland surroundings. Hot drinks will also be served, while your guide shares facts about the huskies and their lifestyle. After you have warmed up, you will return to the husky farm, before saying goodbye to your four-legged friends!

Sehr auf Massenfertigung ausgelegte Veranstaltung. Anmelden beim Anbieter (der keine 10km Tour anbietet?) mit Bussen zum Veranstalter gebracht, Einweisung erhalten, <1h Hundeschlittentour gemacht (sehr langsam, wir müssten meistens mit Bremse fahren weil der Guide sehr langsam vorweg fuhr). Hinterher in eine Hütte gebracht, halbe Tasse warmen Saft und eine Scheibe süßes Brot erhalten, dann wieder gedrängt raus zu den Bussen zu gehen weil die nächsten Gäste warten. Die Tour war wirklich interessant und eine schöne Erfahrung, aber da ist noch viel Luft nach oben

Très dépaysant et moi qui ai peur des chiens, j’ai été séduite et les ai «mushé » avec confiance pendant les 10 km. Discuter avec les guides était aussi très intéressant. Je referais volontiers.

L'activité est formidable, le dépaysement complet, on en redemande, c'est trop court ! Les encadrants sont accueillants et passionnés, ils répondent eux questions avec plaisir.

Magnifique . Mais après 15h00 la luminosité devient plus faible et la préparation et l’attente a l’activite proprement dite était longue. Pour une activité réservée pour 14h00, on a débuté à 16h00. Un peu dommage
