Husky Sleigh Ride
Activity Details
At the appointed time, we'll pick you up in Rovaniemi and head to the outskirts of the capital of Lapland to begin our adventure through the beautiful snow-covered landscapes.
We'll arrive at a local husky farm, where we'll meet our new four-legged friends. An expert on this breed of dog, typical of Nordic countries and accustomed to living in low temperatures, will explain what daily life with them is like and what their habits are.
Then, let the action begin! We'll be given the necessary instructions to enjoy the experience with the utmost safety, and we'll climb aboard a sled pulled by huskies, where we'll enjoy a relaxing 5 to 8-km (3 to 5 mi) ride through this impressive natural landscape.
After a tour of the white blanket of Lapland, we'll return to the farm to shelter from the cold with the warmth of the bonfire and enjoy a hot drink and delicious gingerbread cookies. It's like Christmas all year round!
At the end of the activity, we'll return to Rovaniemi by bus. Arrival is scheduled between 3 and 3.5 hours after pickup.
