Highlights
Unleash your Arctic spirit with a Rovaniemi Husky Safari and Mushing Experience, a daytime romp through Lapland’s snow-draped wilderness alongside the spirited huskies of Apukka Resort. Just a short hop from Rovaniemi, this adventure kicks off with a warm welcome from the pack—eager tails wagging, icy-blue eyes glinting—as you meet these northern icons up close. Spend time petting their thick fur, snapping photos, and soaking in their infectious energy before expert handlers guide you through the timeless art of mushing. Then, hop onto a sled for a 7–10 km ride, powered by these howling friends, as they charge through powdery trails and frozen forests with a joy that’s downright contagious.
Feel the rush as you glide across the Arctic countryside, the crisp air biting your cheeks while the huskies’ rhythmic paws crunch the snow beneath. Professional mushers share tips to steer your team—or let you kick back as a passenger if you prefer—while Lapland's vast, white expanse unfurls around you. This isn’t just a ride; it’s a bond with creatures born for the cold, their love for the run palpable in every yip and bound. Perfect for animal lovers and thrill-seekers alike, this half-day escape (about 2 hours) from Rovaniemi blends heart-pounding action with the cosy charm of husky cuddles—a slice of northern magic you’ll carry long after the sled slows.
