THE EXPERIENCE
Your day in the north.
Listen to the excitement at the farm, meet your team and get ready to head down the trail. Once the dogs are moving, their enthusiasm turns into a wonderfully steady rhythm—and suddenly you’re travelling through Lapland behind a husky team.
This longer adventure gives you approximately 17–23 km on the trail. Learn how to control the sled, follow the guide and enjoy time getting to know the dogs doing the pulling. Share a sled and take turns, or choose the single-drive option for more time with your own team.
Back at the farm, a warm cabin, something to eat and stories about the huskies round off the outing. We can’t promise you won’t want to take one home. We can, however, understand the temptation.
