About This Adventure
Experience the thrill of a husky safari in Lapland, where eight eager huskies pull you across pristine, snow-covered fells. Glide effortlessly over the landscape as you navigate with your lead dog. This unforgettable adventure includes a one-hour ride, warm berry juice, and all necessary thermal clothing for your comfort.
“Sixteen ice-blue and chestnut-brown eyes shine with excitement as the eight wolf-gray huskies eagerly await to run over the fells.”
About
Driving a team of huskies over the white, shimmering fells is an experience that is almost mandatory during a trip to Lapland. The eager dogs run at full speed and the sleigh glides effortlessly over the snowdrifts with the skids hissing softly. The lead dog turns to look at you at a crossroads – right of left? Mush!
The husky safari starts just a short drive away from the resort and takes you on a fast-paced trip over the untouched snow of the fells and surrounding forests. This is an experience that you will never forget!
Note: We have two-person sleighs. Each sleigh is ridden by one of the guests.
