Standing on the runners of a sled behind a team of eager huskies, gliding through silent snowy forest, is one of Lapland's great experiences. If it's your first time, here's exactly what happens.
No experience needed — just warm clothes and a sense of adventure.
How it works
After a safety briefing, you'll either drive your own sled (standing on the runners, using the brake) or ride wrapped in blankets in the sled while a guide drives. Teams are usually 4–6 friendly Siberian huskies who love to run.
Is it hard?
No experience is needed. Driving is intuitive — mostly balance and braking — and guides lead the way. It's suitable for most adults and older children; younger kids ride as passengers.
What to wear
Dress warm: thermal layers, hat, gloves. On our husky safari we provide thermal outerwear and boots, so you stay warm on the trail.
The magic part
Once the noise of excited huskies settles into rhythm, the forest goes quiet but for the sled and paws on snow. On a clear evening, you might even catch the aurora above the trail.
