The experience
The farm sits in the woods next to Pyhä-Luosto National Park, and the sled ride takes you through the fell area where you see the landscape from the sledge. You'll start with driving instructions on how to handle the team, then ride behind six huskies for about 5 kilometres. Two people or a family share one team, so if you're traveling as a pair, you're on the same sled together. One adult can mush the team after the instruction. The other sits in the sled. At the halfway point, you can switch places if you want to try steering the dogs yourself. It's voluntary, but the option is there.
After the ride, you'll head to a hut on the farm where the dog handlers live and care for the animals. There you'll hear stories about the huskies while drinking hot berry juice. The farm doesn't limit how long you spend with the dogs or how many photos you take, so you have time to scratch them, play and get pictures. If you're lucky, you might meet the farm's puppies.
Is this one for you?Book this if you want to actually drive the dogs yourself. One adult gets the reins after instruction, and you can trade places mid-ride. If you'd rather just ride and watch, this setup means you're sharing the team with one other person or family, so the pace and the experience are built around that.
