DESCRIPTION
Located away from Rovaniemi, in the middle of Lapland wilderness, this family-sized kennel will offer you an unique experience during your autumn holiday in Rovaniemi.
After being picked up, you will be transported to the kennel in the forest. Dogs and mushers will warmly welcome you. You will be given driving instructions so that you can learn how to safely steer the cart.
Once ready, you will get the chance to drive your own wheel cart pulled by your dog team for about 5-6 km (20 min) into the colourful autumn forests of Lapland!
In autumn, mushers need to train their dogs before snow arrives ; wheel cart rides are then a great opportunity to feel the thrill of leading your dog team while contributing to their training!
After the ride, you can spend time with the dogs: they love cuddles and photos! Mushers will also be happy to answer all your questions. Your guide will drive you back to Rovaniemi.
About your dog teams : most of the sledding dogs in Lapland are Alaskan huskies, a mixed breed which is very performant in racing. Those friendly well-trained dogs love running, they even need it for their well-being. They will definitely be super excited to run with you! However, their appearance is not the same as Siberian huskies (dogs in the movies), since they originate from many crossbreeding, thus you will find dogs with all kinds of shapes, sizes, furs and colors !
MAKE IT AN EVEN BETTER EXPERIENCE
You may combine the husky cart experience with a reindeer farm visit in order to enjoy a complete experience (link here)! You’ll save time and money by making it a combo.
