DEEP ARCTIC HUSKY ADVENTURE
February until April
-
This 25-30 km husky safari is designed for guests seeking a deeper and more authentic sledding experience.
Each guest drives their own single sled with a personal husky team, creating a strong connection between driver, dogs, and the trail. No previous experience is required, but the safari calls for focus, presence, and a sense of adventure. The guide leads the way by snowmobile.
The route begins across a frozen lake, allowing time to get familiar with your sled and team, before continuing into the Arctic forest where driving requires full concentration. The trail then passes through open marshland, occasionally returning to sheltered forest sections.
Midway through the safari, we take a short break to greet the dogs, stretch, and enjoy warm berry juice. After returning to the farm, guests help remove the harnesses and spend time with the dogs in the exercise yard.
The experience concludes with a warm soup lunch in the kota, including homemade dessert and hot drinks.
Best suited for adults (over 18-years old) who enjoy adventure, responsibility, and the true magic of Lapland’s wilderness. Basic physical fitness is mandatory.
