Do you want to experience the arctic nature and wintery landscape while being pulled by a talented team of alaskan huskies and to get to know the huskies individually, learn all about them and what it is to live in the woods with a pack of sled dogs?
In order to offer you a unique and memorable husky experience we have partnered up with professional sled dog mushers Jussi and Inka Holck. This local couple lives with their alaskan huskies further out from the Rovaniemi main area so they have built a cozy husky camp closer to the hotel for us to enjoy the magic of sled dogs. The huskies are their family and the wellbeing and happiness of the dogs is the number one priority for Jussi and Inka. They run their husky kennel responsibly and ethically towards the animals and the nature. In addition to offering husky safaris they also take part in long distance sled dog races around Scandinavia.
The Husky Experience includes:
- 2.5km Husky Sled Ride (Approximate 10 mins, passengers in sled)
- Visit to the husky camp
- Stories about the dogs
- Interacting with the dogs
- Hot drinks and cookies
- Return transfer from/to Nova Skyland Hotel
- Guiding
- Winter overalls and shoes
Description:
The husky safari is driven by the guide, so you will be enjoying the ride (2.5km) sitting on the sled together with your friends or family. In addition to the sled safari, you will hear stories about the huskies, and you can pet the dogs and take pictures with them. The duration of the whole activity is about 2 hours which includes the safari (about 10 minutes), the visit to the camp and the transfers.
