16km HUSKY RIDE INTO THE WILD

Home | Experience | 16km HUSKY RIDE INTO THE WILD

About this experience

Your team. Your sled. Your Arctic wilderness.

After a quick but thorough briefing, you take the reins and lead your own husky team solo into the Lappish backcountry. Feel the raw power of the pack accelerating beneath you, the runners cutting through fresh snow, the forest opening up ahead. Sixteen kilometres of pure northern wilderness, driven on your own terms. Halfway through, you swap positions with your fellow driver and push on deeper into the wild.

Back at the kennel, meet the dogs properly, hear the musher’s stories, and warm up with hot drinks and biscuits — well earned.

Minimum age: 13.

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.

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.
