10km Thrilling Husky Ride

Home | Experience | 10km Thrilling Husky Ride

About this experience

Ten kilometres of pure Arctic wilderness, powered by nothing but the drive of a husky team and the silence of the northern forest.

After a short transfer to our local kennel, your musher gets you briefed and confident before the dogs pull you out into the wild. You and your companion take turns at the helm, steering through ancient taiga forest and across frozen marshlands on trails that trace the paths of early Arctic explorers. It’s raw, it’s beautiful, and it’s unlike anything else.

Back at the kennel, catch your breath over hot drinks and biscuits as the musher shares stories of life with the pack.

Suitable for families. Children ride in the sled.

Supplement

Transfer to the husky farm is included from three pick-up points in Ylläsjärvi only: North Wind Lapland office, Hotel Ylläsrinne and Lapland Hotel Saaga. We do not pick up from other addresses. If your accommodation is not within easy walking distance of one of these three points and if you don’t have a rental car— whether you are staying in Ylläsjärvi, Äkäslompolo or elsewhere — please arrange your own transfer to the pick-up point you have chosen. As a guide, a one-way taxi from Äkäslompolo to Ylläsrinne costs approximately €59 for 1–4 people and €65 for 5–8 people. From Ylläsjärvi it is about 25-30€/ way.
