6 km twilight twirl, December

6 km sledding with a guide, driving lesson, kennel tour, winter overalls and boots, and a warm drink & cookies afterwards.

This activity does not include transfers. It may coincide with the local bus service but it does not include the bus fares.

We have a café and restaurant on-site that serves traditional favourites in our 100 year old inn. A lunch table can be booked in advance to ensure you don't leave on an empty stomach!

You should dress in warm winter clothing, including gloves, mittens, hats and scarves. The winter overall we supply can be pulled over all of your own clothes.

December

You can reach us best by car but it is possible to use the local bus service to get here. Please take the bus from Rovaniemi bus station platform 3. The 60 km journey takes approx. 60 mins and picks up passengers along the way. There is only a limited service so please check the timetables before booking your husky tour. Search for buses online at matkahuolto.fi that depart from Rovaniemi to Tiainen or Luosto, then when you are on the bus, ask the driver to drop you off at Korvala. Tickets can be bought on the bus.

• Weather conditions

This tour takes place at dusk and it will gradually get darker as the night draws in.

The temperature limit for our products is around -25°C. In colder temperatures, the principal guide will decide if it is safe to start the activity, especially in the case of participating children. Wind chill from velocity needs to be considered: e.g. -25°C with wind chill along the fastest part of the route is equivalent to approx -40°C, which means there is a high risk of frostbite within five minutes of exposure. Therefore, participants must wear suitable winter clothing, including winter hats, scarves/buffs and mittens, with gloves inside the mittens. We offer optional additional winter overalls and boots for participants to use. Our overalls provide an extra layer of protection but are not warm enough by themselves. This activity is not suitable for children under two years of age.

When temperatures drop below -30°C, the cold affects the welfare of the dogs, so this will always be taken into consideration by us if this happens during an activity, and may result in a change or cancellation of the activity.

However, it can also be too warm sometimes, so when temperatures go too far above 0°C, there is an increased risk of injury due to soft trails. In this case, we will try to reschedule the departure time so that we can take advantage of cooler temperatures.

• Restrictions

The weight limit for our sleds is 200kg – this means the combined weight of the driver and the passenger(s), where no one individual weighs more than 120kg.
