Husky safari 5 km, meet reindeers, hot drink by the river, self driving private and small group

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

At your arrival, you can dress warmly ; we lend, if necessary, an over-suit, warm shoes and hat (adult size only).

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.
