Dog Sledding

Dog sledding is a fun way to enjoy an exhilarating ride. Tours can range from a short trip to a full-day adventure, and are suitable for everyone from children to adults. The dogs are harnessed in front of the sled, and huskies love running in the team.

A Dream Experience

Dog sledding is a dream for many, and Saariselkä makes it easy to experience. There are many types of husky safaris available. Husky rides are offered during the snowy winter season and should be booked in advance to ensure availability. Trips can be short introductory rides or full-day excursions. In addition to the ride, visitors often get a chance to visit the husky farm and meet the dogs.

Adventure in the Fells

Riding a dog sled through the fells is a memorable experience you’ll likely remember for years. Passengers can sit in different positions: on the sled, you can enjoy the scenery or take photos, wrapped warmly in thick blankets that keep you comfortable even in cold weather.

For those who want to drive the sled, it is also possible. Driving is typically done standing on the runners, allowing the musher to guide the dogs and control the team. Dog sledding is perfect for anyone who loves speed and adventure, and for dog lovers. The friendly huskies enjoy running in the team and you can get to know them closer at the husky farm or during breaks. Breaks usually include hot drinks and stories about the life of sled dogs.
