Travel by guided bus to the husky farm where our friendly staff will be waiting to give you a warm welcome and essential safety instructions before the ride of a lifetime. Each sled will be driven through the snow by a trained guide, and you will be riding as passengers in groups of 2 or 3. The ride itself will last 20-30 minutes.
But the adventure doesn't end there. Back at the husky farm, you'll be invited into a cosy lavvo, a Sami herdsman’s tent, where you'll gather around a crackling wood fire. As you sip on a hot drink and savour delicious cookies, your hosts will regale you with captivating tales of raising and racing sled dogs. Immerse yourself in their stories and ask any questions that come to mind.
And of course, there will be plenty of time to greet, spend time with, and photograph the cheerful, eager sled dogs!
