Activity description
Enjoy the thrill of driving your own team of huskies through the magical snowy forest with your family in Rovaniemi. Welcoming adventurers from ages 4 and up!
Rovaniemi is the capital and largest city of Lapland, known for its unique location and vibrant cultural scene. Situated close to the Arctic Circle, the region features Arctic winters and is surrounded by pristine wilderness, including forests, lakes, and rivers. Dog sledding is a popular activity for discovering the magic of Lapland!
The adventure begins at the husky kennel in Rovaniemi (pick-up is available from specific locations upon booking). You will meet your experienced guide, who will introduce you to the adorable and friendly huskies. The guide will then give you a safety briefing and mushing lesson, before setting up the sled. Each sled can hold 2 adults and a maximum of 2 children. The sled will be driven by an adult, with the opportunity to switch drivers midway if you wish. A team of 4-6 huskies will pull your sled. Once the team is set up, the adventure begins!
Under the instruction of the guide, you will set off into the snowy forest surrounding the kennels. The dogs will pull you on a thrilling dash while you discover the winter wonderland. You will experience the natural beauty and enchantment of the Arctic environment. This sled ride will last approximately 45 minutes (6-10km), so it is perfect for families with small children that don't want to be in the cold outdoors for too long.
After the ride, you will return to the kennels. There will be time to play and interact with the dogs. Hot berries drinks and cookies will be served around a warm campfire, while your guide shares stories and insights about life in the region. When you've warmed up, you will say goodbye to your furry friends and return to your original pickup point!
This self-drive husky safari is an amazing opportunity to discover Lapland's unique wilderness in an enjoyable way for the whole family. Book your next unforgettable adventure in Rovaniemi now!
