Husky Sledding in Levi: 2 km ride with professional musher

Ride behind a team of huskies across frozen Lapland

Husky sledding in Levi is a one-hour activity where a professional musher guides you on a 2 km sled ride across a frozen lake and through snow-covered forest. You meet the dogs beforehand, ride in a team-pulled sled, and warm up afterward in a traditional Finnish cabin with hot drinks and cookies. A guide speaks English and children are welcome from age 2.

The experience

Levi's husky camp sits in the remote Lapland forest, and the day starts with a pickup from your meeting point. Once there, you meet the Siberian and Alaskan huskies face-to-face (these are the dogs that will pull your sled), and you get a safety briefing before the ride begins. The musher handles the sled while you sit as a passenger, experiencing the pull of the team as they move across the ice and through the quiet forest.

The 2 km route takes you across a frozen lake surrounded by sparkling ice, then into a snow-covered forest where towering pines line the trail. You feel the crisp northern air and hear the silence of winter broken only by the sound of runners on snow and the dogs' breath. After the ride, you can photograph the huskies and the adorable four-month-old puppies, then head to the heated kota (a traditional Finnish shelter) to thaw out.

Hot drinks and cookies are waiting in the cabin, and you have time to sit and absorb what you've just done. The whole experience runs about an hour from pickup to drop-off. Dress warmly, the operator emphasizes this, and know that in extremely cold weather below minus 30 degrees Celsius or bad conditions, they may reschedule or offer a full refund.
