An arctic adventure with the huskies!

Duration

2 Hours (From pick up to return)

About

The guide will pick guests up from Kakslauttanen and provide thermal outfits at the husky farm. Then it is time to meet the friendly dogs who are eagerly waiting in front of the sledges. Husky dogs love running and can’t wait to get going! The guide will provide instructions on how to stop, turn and drive the husky sledge pulled by several dogs. The sled is for two people unless you wish to have your sled only for yourself (for an extra cost). One person is seated in the sleigh, the other is standing and driving in the back, you can swap drivers halfway. You will enjoy riding in the wintery forest as much as the dogs! After arriving at the farm and thanking your dogs for the adventure together it’s time for a hot drink and some husky stories.
Duration of the program: 2 hrs. (from pick-up to return), ride time approx. 1 hour.
