About the activity

If you are an animal lover, this dog sledding and reindeer sleigh ride from Rovaniemi is he perfect opportunity for you to spend some time with 2 of the Arctic's most iconic animals! Rovaniemi is an amazing winter destination, surrounded by breathtaking Arctic landscapes that are perfect to host diverse winter experiences such as snowmobiling, reindeer sleigh rides, and much more. As the capital of Finnish Lapland, this winter wonderland combines a modern city with incredible wild surroundings to enjoy the Arctic weather that defines it.

On the day of your self-drive dog sledding and reindeer sleigh ride from Rovaniemi, you'll have the opportunity to be picked up by your instructor within a 10-kilometre radius of Rovaniemi's city centre. You can also arrive by yourself at the StayLapland headquarters. There, you'll meet your expert instructor, who will distribute the thermal overalls, snow boots, beanies, mittens and other winter apparel necessary to stay safe during the experience. You'll then be transported to the starting point of the adventure.

Once you're at the base camp and ready, it's time to start the adventure! First, you'll take a quick lesson on how to handle a husky team, so you can embark on your thrilling 5-kilometre dog sledding ride. Once you return to the camp, you'll continue the experience with a peaceful 2 to 3-kilometre reindeer sleigh ride along the Lappish wilderness. Finally, you'll enjoy a delicious salmon soup full of local flavour in a cosy teepee, before returning to the original meeting point for the end of the activity.

Keep in mind that the temperatures in the Arctic can go from 5 to -30 degrees Celsius, so bringing very small children on this activity might not be the best idea. You should also come prepared with thermal or wool underlayers, as well as extra warm layers to wear under the suit, as well as anything else you may need (medication, extra snacks, sunglasses, etc.) to spend a safe and fun 5 hours on this dog sledding and reindeer sleigh ride from Rovaniemi!

Don't miss out on spending an incredible half-day in the Finnish Lapland wilderness with two different species of adorable and well-trained Arctic animals. Book your self-drive dog sledding and reindeer sleigh ride from Rovaniemi!
