Visit one of Finland’s oldest husky kennels, run by legendary musher Reijo Jääskeläinen and home to Siberian huskies – some of them trained animal movie stars. On the drive from Levi, your guide will share interesting facts about huskies and Arctic wildlife.
During the experience, you’ll meet Siberian huskies of all ages, arctic foxes, red foxes, tundra wolves, dog-wolf mixes, spitzes, and puppies (when available). The host will demonstrate tricks and share stories about the animals’ roles in films.
You’ll also enjoy a thrilling 2 km musher-driven husky safari through snowy forests and frozen lake scenery. You’ll be seated in a sleigh (fits up to 2 adults and 1 child), while the musher stands behind you on the runners. You’ll experience the feeling of the dogs pulling you at their own pace – a natural and authentic ride.
Meet the friendly reindeer Taika for a photo opportunity, then warm up in a cozy Lappish hut with a hot drink and warm sausage by the fireplace. Visit the musher’s Hall of Fame, watch a film about husky life, and browse local souvenirs.
