Aurora Hunting with Huskies

Experience the Magic of Arctic Wilderness on a Traditional Husky Sledding Adventure in Lapland

The adventure begins with a warm welcome as the guide collects guests from Kakslauttanen and takes them to a peaceful husky farm surrounded by snowy forest. At the farm thermal outfits are provided so everyone can stay warm and comfortable in the Arctic night. Soon after you will meet the lively husky dogs waiting eagerly beside their sledges. These energetic animals love to run and their excitement fills the air with joyful sounds.

Before the journey starts the husky guide explains how to guide the team how to slow down and how to turn safely along the trail. With a head torch lighting the path you step onto the back of the sledge ready to begin a magical ride. As the husky team starts moving the sled glides smoothly through the quiet winter forest. One person stands at the back steering the sledge while the other relaxes in the sleigh.

Halfway through the journey you can switch roles and experience both driving and riding. Leaving the glow of distant lights behind the trail leads deeper into the dark peaceful wilderness where the sky may reveal the beautiful Northern Lights. The moment feels calm and unforgettable as the forest and snowy landscape pass by in the moonlight. This immersive experience allows you to connect with the dogs and the pristine nature of the far north.

This guided excursion is designed for those seeking a genuine Arctic experience away from the crowds. By combining physical activity with the serenity of the Finnish wilderness, participants gain a new appreciation for traditional sledding methods. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced traveler, the combination of crisp air, friendly huskies, and potential aurora sightings creates a lasting memory. Prepare for an evening of wonder as you traverse the snow-covered trails under the vast starry sky.
