Sign up for an incredible experience to get to know the adorable dogs and puppies that pull sleds all winter long while they're resting during the summer on this husky kennel tour and dog cart ride from Rovaniemi! Dog sledding is an ancient practice in the Arctic climates of the world, used mostly for practical transportation in the snowy landscapes of the very northern hemisphere. Now, there are hundreds of husky kennels spread out over Scandinavia, which raise and train well-loved dogs to take visitors from around the world into the snowy landscapes of Finnish Lapland. However, during the summer, without any snow, the dogs are still as energetic and ready to run as ever, so visiting them, getting to know their lifestyle and that of their mushers (dog sled drivers) is the perfect way to use up their energy and spend a fun moment.
On the day of your husky kennel tour from Rovaniemi, you'll have the chance to be picked up in diverse places around Rovaniemi and Sinettä, around 45 minutes before the starting time of the experience. They'll take you to the Bearhill Husky headquarters, where you'll meet the expert musher (dog sled driver) who will accompany you throughout the day. They'll explain the itinerary for the activity and give you a few safety rules to follow to have fun with the dogs.
Next, it's time to start! You'll enter the kennel and get to know the dogs, as well as learn all about their daily lives in the kennel from the expert musher who spends all their time training and taking care of them. If the weather is good (15 degrees Celsius or less), your musher will prepare a wheeled cart and take you on a magical 800-meter ride along the Finnish Lapland wilderness, so you can experience the thrill of being pulled by the huskies, even if there's no snow out. When you return, you'll spend some time with the husky puppies (if there are some in the kennel), and drink some hot juice with cookies to end this wonderful experience.
Don't forget to bring comfortable clothing and shoes adapted to the weather conditions, a hat, a scarf, and anything else you might need (medicine, extra snacks, etc.) to spend an amazing 2 hours on this husky kennel tour and 800-meter dog cart ride from Rovaniemi!
