Husky excursion:
On a husky hike our dogs will lead you to the forest and show you the beautiful nature of Finnish Lapland. Everyone gets a husky friend to walk with, and our guide will show you the way. Our old dogs also love to join the pack on these walks and get their share of cuddles and attention. During the hike there will be a break where the guide will serve you beverages and tell everything you want to know about the life of our huskies.
On the sledge ride our guide will first teach you how to ride a sled and go through the safety instructions for the ride. You will then be given your own team of huskies to drive on our beautiful trail in the snowy scenery. During the ride there will be a break and opportunity to take photos of your memorable experience. When we return, you can get to know the dogs, cuddle and take pictures with them.
