10 km Self-Drive Dog Sledding Excursion from Levi

Sign up for a wonderful day in the snowy, Arctic landscapes of Finnish Lapland and learn an iconic winter sport on this 10 km self-drive dog sledding excursion from Levi! Mushing, or more generally known as dog sledding, has been a practical mode of transportation on the snow, which consists of a sled attached to a team of well-trained dogs (usually huskies), who run at full speed over the snow while pulling the sled. Now, located in western Finnish Lapland, Levi is known for its wonderful ski resort, and the Arctic wilderness that surrounds the village is a great place to experience this amazing activity.

On the day of your self-drive dog sledding excursion from Levi, you'll have the option to be picked up in certain spots around the village, or you'll need to arrive at the meeting point at least 20 minutes before the starting time of the experience. At the Safartica Levi headquarters, you'll meet your expert instructor, who will give you a thorough safety briefing and distribute the high-quality equipment you'll use throughout the experience, which will include a thermal suit, snow boots, gloves, a scarf, woollen socks, and a beanie. You'll have some time to gear up, and once you're ready, it's time to go!

The activity will start with a short drive to the dog kennel, where you will meet the huskies and their expert musher. They will set up the sled you will use and teach you exactly how to handle the team of dogs, so you and them can be safe and have lots of fun. When you feel prepared, you'll set off! In approximately 1 hour, you will ride over 10 kilometres of untouched Arctic wilderness, enjoying the fresh, cold air and the high-energy attitude of the huskies. Midway through the experience, you can stop, take a break, and passengers on the sled can become drivers if they are 18 years old or older. You'll finally return to the kennel and enjoy a moment with the dogs, learning how they're trained and what their lives are like year-round.

Keep in mind that, although your instructor will lend you good-quality winter equipment, you should also come prepared with thermal layers and even a good windproof and waterproof jacket to wear under the suit if it's very cold outside. You should also bring a hat, a scarf, warm winter shoes, and anything else you might need (medication, extra snacks) to spend around 2.5 hours on this amazing 10 km dog sledding excursion from Levi!

Don't miss your chance to explore the breathtaking Finnish Lapland wilderness and enjoy a moment with adorable, well-trained huskies. Book your 10 km self-drive dog sledding excursion from Levi!
