Highlights: Vuokatti kennels, night husky safari

This morning you will wake up excited to start your winter adventure. In the local husky kennels you will meet a professional musher who will teach you the basics of driving a traditional 2 person sled and let you practice on a short trail. You can start as a driver leading the dog and controlling the brakes to ensure everything goes smoothly and later swap the roles with your partner to become a passenger simply enjoying the peaceful motion and beautiful winter scenery.

After some rest you continue with a night safari, a magical experience when powerful headlights cut through the darkness of the winter forest, onto frozen lakes, and on a clear night the heavens open up before your eyes hopefully offering up the spectacular sight of the northern lights. Relax by the warmth of the fire in our traditional Mongolian Yurt as your guide serves up a traditional “musher’s burger”, then step outside for another spectacular view of the night sky.

Highlights: Husky safari in a day time

In the morning meet the dogs and continue your winter adventure in the daylight. The more you get to know huskies the more you discover how amazingly friendly they are. Huskies are made to run and enjoy it as nobody else does and soon you will have as much fun and passion about running in the magical winter forest as they do.  Today you will be travelling in less travelled areas and immersed in the fairytale scenery of the taiga forests and peaceful beauty of the frozen lakes… It is a true discovery of Finnish nature!

En route stop for some hot food and drink and relax by the fire in the traditional Mongolian yurt.
