About this activity

 The Arctic Husky Safari is a 5 km self-drive dog sledding trip from Rovaniemi, about four and a half hours door to door. You drive your own sled, transfers from dedicated pickup locations and full winter clothing are included, and the group is capped at eight sleds. Children can ride along in the sled with an adult.

The driving itself is easier than it looks. The trail runs through snow-loaded forest, the dogs know every bend of it, and somewhere in the first few hundred metres you stop gripping the handlebar and start listening to the runners hissing over the snow. While one half of the group is out on the trail, the other half is in a kota by the fire with hot berry juice and gingerbread, then you swap.

The kennel in Jokela, built in 2025, is ours together with Husky World, long-time mushers and racers who live on site with the dogs. Dog welfare sets the rules: team sizes, run lengths and rest are decided by what suits the dogs, and the people handing you the sled are the people who raised and trained them.
