Spend an hour with veteran sled dogs on Hetta Huskies’ 2km Oldies Walk in Enontekiö, Finland. This gentle forest trail offers a unique chance to connect with huskies beyond the mushing rush.
1 hour 15 minutes • From €15
Our farm 2km forest trail is accessible year round. It is the trail we first use in autumn training and we keep it open all winter so that the oldies can still get out and have some fun either on the sleigh or on a longer walk. Walking the forest trail can add up to an hour to your overall farm tour...depending on how quickly you and your dog manage to walk around!
FYI: this product is most commonly booked by people who have already participated in one of our tours and want to come back and do something nice for the dogs. It does not normally, therefore, include a farm tour and is priced to be an unaccompanied walk - or one in which you will be accompanied by our child (who is supposed to walk the group of old dogs in his responsibility each day) or a new guide who might not have seen this track before.
If you haven't visited us before please communicate this clearly to your guide (or they will assume you have) and will simply prepare your walking belt, hik-joring line and dogs for you.
If you would like to be accompanied by someone more experienced, please tick the 'accompany me' box and we will do our best to have someone walk with you. You can also request a farm tour add-on at a reduced price.
Trail surfaces can shift between snow, ice, and forest floor depending on season—wear appropriate footwear with good grip.
Let guides know if this is your first visit to ensure proper preparation and optional accompaniment.
Temperatures can fluctuate quickly; layering helps manage comfort throughout the walk.
This walk is tailored for older huskies; adjust your speed to their comfort to make it an enjoyable outing.
Enontekiö’s indigenous Sámi culture shapes the region’s outdoor traditions, including reindeer herding and sled dog sports.
Hetta Huskies emphasizes sustainable practices by maintaining trails responsibly and promoting animal welfare in all activities.
Protect your feet from wet or snowy trail conditions along the forest path.
