We are in the wild Lapland, at about 50 minutes from Rovaniemi center, at 7 km from the Vanttauskoski village, along the river.

You will be introduced to the sled dog activity. You meet our sled dogs, get to know the equipment, and learn how to handle a sled ; You will drive your own sled with 6 huskies, for a 5 km safari, 2/3 adults per sled (+children) in little or private group only ; (1 driver per sled).

We cross fields and forests to the rhythm of the dogs. After the walk, the dogs will be free and you can enjoy a moment of complicity with them and pet the dogs who wish.

Then, you can meet the emblematic animal of Lapland: the reindeer.

In the green season (from April to the end of November), the reindeer live freely in the forests, but in winter they live in enclosures in small groups, which provides them with protection and abundant food during the coldest season of the year.

We will enter the reindeer enclosure and bring them treats so that they get closer. You can then approach the reindeer and touch the most daring. This is the time to ask questions about the life of this beautiful half-domesticated animal which is certainly the domestic animal, the most adapted to Lappish nature.

Then we take the direction of the chalet by the river where we offer you a hot drink.

 It's time to go back to the city center.

      • Dress code

      The minimum reservation is for two people. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate single guests, as we do not mix different groups or families in the same sled.

      You have to come with your winter clothes.

      We reserve the right to cancel a hike for reasons of availability or in case of very cold temperature. In this case you will be refunded in full. We do not accept pregnant women.

      We decide whether or not you can drive a sled, depending on your age, your physical condition, your attendance at driving explanations and your compliance with the rules; we reserve the right to decide at any time your ability to drive the sled for a simple breach of the driving rules (for example if you let go of the sled or do not brake enough) in this case, a guide will drive the sled to your place and you can sit in the sleigh. Our goal is the safety of our customers and our dogs.

      If the snow has not yet arrived, the 5 km husky safari on snow will be replaced by a husky safari on kart, 20 minutes about (on wheels) at the same price (and will therefore not be refundable).

      If only the 2 km track is accessible for karting (on wheels), we will cover 2 km, and you will receive a partial refund.

        You must come with warm clothes.
