Maglelin Experience
Join Maglelin Experience in Kittilä for a family-friendly husky sled ride that combines adventure, education, and warmth in the Arctic winter. Discover the power of sled dogs and create unforgettable memories in Lapland.
Maglelin Experience operates a husky kennel and offers guided family husky safaris that combine hands-on sledding with educational kennel visits. The company’s flagship offering, the Family Husky Safari, invites parents and children to experience a sled driven by guests with teams of 4–6 huskies while younger children ride as passengers. After the sled ride, participants gather in a cozy Lapp hut to warm up with a hot drink by the fire and learn about daily life at a working husky kennel.
Guides provide instruction on sled driving basics, harnessing dogs, and safe passenger procedures before guests set out on the trail. The experience emphasizes family safety and close, respectful interaction with the dogs, including opportunities to meet and pet the huskies in a supervised setting. The combination of active outdoor adventure and relaxed downtime in the Lapp hut creates an accessible winter experience suitable for multigenerational groups.
Maglelin Experience documents the structure of its offering clearly: a sled driven by an adult with 4–6 huskies, child passengers when appropriate, and a post-ride kennel introduction with a hot beverage. This transparent format helps families plan for appropriate clothing, physical participation, and child supervision. The business presents factual trip details and on-site procedures to set clear expectations for visitors.
By focusing on kennel education, hands-on sled driving, and family-centered safety measures, Maglelin Experience positions itself as a straightforward option for families seeking an authentic husky sledding day that combines excitement and learning. Booking information and seasonal availability are provided on request directly.
