Husky and Reindeer Safari Rovaniemi: Drive both sleds in one dayYou ride behind huskies for 2km across snow, then transfer to a reindeer sled for 500m through the farm, with hot drinks at both stops and a souvenir driver's license in hand. Hotel pickup and drop-off in Rovaniemi are included, and the whole outing takes a half day — which is what makes it possible to do both sledding traditions without choosing between them.Is it for me?Book this if you want to try both husky and reindeer sledding without splitting your time between two separate tours — the combination is what makes a full Lapland experience fit into a half day without rushing.
Drive Your Own Husky Team in Rovaniemi: 5–8 km sled safariDrive your own husky sled through snow-covered forests and open Lapland landscapes on a self-guided 5–8 km trek from Rovaniemi. You and one other guest share a sled, taking turns at the reins, with a professional guide present to instruct you before departure and meet you at the farm. The experience runs about 3–4 hours total, including hotel pickup, thermal overalls, time with the dogs after the ride, and a traditional Lapland barbecue by the fire.Is it for me?This is a self-guided activity, not a tour—you're driving the sled yourself rather than watching a musher work. It suits anyone who wants hands-on control and the satisfaction of steering a team through the snow, and the shared sled means you and a partner both get time at the reins. If you prefer to sit back while someone else handles the dogs, look for a passenger-only husky ride instead.
