Husky Winter Dream: Classic

Begin your adventure with an individual arrival in Kittilä. From there, take a public bus (payable locally) to the charming village of Äkäslompolo, a journey of approximately 60 minutes. Upon arrival, a driver will escort you to a nearby husky farm, located around 200 km north of Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland. Here, you will receive your first tour briefing and be provided with the necessary equipment. Spend the night in cozy log cabins, setting the stage for the exciting days ahead.

After a hearty breakfast, meet your guide for a detailed briefing on how to harness the huskies. Put your newfound skills to the test with a training ride, getting accustomed to the sled and the dogs. The sled will be packed, allowing you to experience the thrill of driving. Return to your log cabin for another restful night, eagerly anticipating the adventures to come.

Embark on the hut tour through the expansive Tunturilappland, also known as Berglappland. Glide silently through the serene winter landscape, passing marshlands, lakes, rivers, and forests. The mountains of Western Lapland rise majestically around you, with peaks reaching up to 1000 meters above sea level. Spend the night in simple log cabins, drawing water from nearby lakes or rivers, preparing meals together, feeding the dogs, splitting wood, and heating the sauna. Enjoy the tranquility of the wilderness and the bond with your husky team.

Continue your journey through the vastness of Tunturilappland. The serene silence of the snow-covered landscape is occasionally broken by the sight of reindeer. Traverse diverse terrains, from marshlands and lakes to extensive forests and mountain ranges. Spend another night in a wilderness hut, enjoying the simplicity of life in the great outdoors and the growing connection with your husky team.

On the final day of the hut tour, continue to explore the breathtaking landscapes of Tunturilappland. The journey takes you through a variety of terrains, each offering its own unique beauty. Spend your last night in a wilderness hut, savoring the simplicity and tranquility of the environment. Reflect on the bond you've formed with your husky team and the unforgettable experiences of the past days.

Arrive back at the husky farm in the afternoon, where you'll bid farewell to your loyal husky team. Look forward to a refreshing shower and a delicious dinner. Spend the night in a comfortable log cabin, reminiscing about the incredible journey you've just completed.

Enjoy a day at your leisure in Äkäslompolo. The staff on site can help you organize various activities, such as renting snowshoes or booking snowmobile tours (for an extra charge). Alternatively, you can simply relax or take a walk with the 'oldies'. Spend another night in your cozy log cabin, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere.

Conclude your unforgettable adventure in Lapland. Reflect on the memories and experiences you've gathered as you prepare for your departure. Safe travels!
