We set off from Ylläsjärvi by snowmobile, driving through the winter landscape to a remote husky kennel where the dog will greet us. Husky sleigh ride takes us deep into the snowy forest, with two guests sharing the sleigh and taking turns driving the team. After the ride, the husky musher reveals what life is really like for these incredible dogs as we refuel with a hot drink and biscuits. Then it’s back on the snowmobiles, traveling through quiet forest trails and over a frozen lake on the way back to the village.
