During this program you will go on a self-guided husky-safari on a 5 km track. Approximate safari time is 30-45 min, which can vary, as it always includes a stop-over and is dependent on the weather conditions the dogs are running in. During the stop-over a musher and passenger can change places.
The trip by car to the husky kennel takes about 40 min from Rovaniemi city center.
Upon arrival, you will get complete instructions of driving (mushing) the dog sledge on your own and then immediately start the safari. The trail runs over a frozen lake and through frozen forest in an amazing scenery of arctic Lapland that is full of life if you have eye to see it. Hear the soft steps of the dogs and their breathing while they take you to the adventure you will never forget. The host will tell about life with the dogs and answer any questions you may have.
