In the heart of Finnish Lapland, Kittilä offers a truly authentic Arctic adventure—perfect for families seeking an active, memorable getaway. Maglelin Experience stands out as a dedicated operator that transforms outdoor winter wonderlands into playgrounds of discovery. Their signature Family Husky Safari invites you and your loved ones to experience the thrill of sledding pulled by a team of 4-6 energetic huskies. From the moment you hop onto your sled, the wind rushing past, the snow crunching beneath, you'll feel the raw power and joy of these Arctic working dogs.
After winding through snow-draped forests and across open white plains, guests can warm up beside a crackling fire inside a traditional Lapp hut. Here, you're not just a spectator but an active participant—learning firsthand about husky life, meeting these friendly, strong animals, and soaking in stories about the local kennel's history. This trip offers a hands-on look at life in Lapland from the perspective of those who’ve dedicated their lives to working with sled dogs.
Maglelin Experience’s approach combines adventure with education, making it an ideal activity for families eager to connect with the region's unique culture and environment.

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.
