About
Driving a team of huskies through the white, shimmering landscapes of Lapland is an unforgettable experience. The eager dogs run at full speed, and the sled glides effortlessly over the snow with the skids hissing softly. The lead dog looks back at you at a crossroads – right or left? Mush!
The husky safari starts in front of an Aurora hut and takes you on a fast-paced trip over the untouched snow of the forests of Levi. This is an experience that you will never forget!
