About the activity

Dog lovers and nature enthusiasts alike will adore this self-drive dog sledding excursion from Rovaniemi! Surrounded by breathtaking Arctic landscapes that are perfect to host diverse winter experiences such as snowmobiling, reindeer sleigh rides, and much more, Rovaniemi is an amazing winter destination. As the capital of Finnish Lapland, this winter wonderland combines a modern city with incredible wild surroundings to enjoy the Arctic weather that defines it.

On the day of your self-drive dog sledding excursion from Rovaniemi, you'll have the opportunity to be picked up by your instructor within a 10-kilometre radius of Rovaniemi's city centre. You can also arrive by yourself at the StayLapland headquarters. There, you'll meet your expert instructor, who will distribute the thermal overalls, snow boots, beanies, mittens and other winter apparel necessary to stay safe during the experience. You'll then be transported to the starting point of the adventure.

Once you're at the base camp and ready, it's time to go! First, your instructor will teach you exactly how to handle a husky team, and introduce you to the dogs that will pull your sled. Next, it's time to embark on your thrilling 5-kilometre dog sledding ride through the breathtaking Kuoksajärvi Forest. When you return to the camp, you'll be able to spend some time with the dogs and then enjoy some delicious snacks and hot berry juice by the fire in a teepee to warm up and enjoy the Arctic atmosphere of Finnish Lapland before returning to Rovaniemi.

Keep in mind that the temperatures in the Arctic can go from 5 to -30 degrees Celsius, so bringing very small children on this activity might not be the best idea. You should also come prepared with thermal or wool underlayers, as well as extra warm layers to wear under the suit, as well as anything else you may need (medication, extra snacks, sunglasses, etc.) to spend a safe and fun 5 hours on this dog sledding excursion from Rovaniemi!

Immerse yourself in the stunning landscapes of Finnish Lapland with a team of expertly trained and adorable canine guides. Book your self-drive dog sledding excursion from Rovaniemi today!
