Answer the call of the Arctic wilderness and drive your own team of huskies on this 2-hour dog sledding safari in Ylläs! Welcoming adventurers of all ages.

Located in Northern Finland, Ylläs is a year-round destination that offers a wide range of activities and experiences for travellers who appreciate the natural beauty of Lapland and the unique Arctic culture of the region. Whether you're a nature lover or a winter sports enthusiast, dog sledding might just be one of the most thrilling ways to enjoy Ylläs' winter wonderland.

Your adventure begins at one of the listed meeting points in Ylläs (please specify when booking), from there you'll enjoy a scenic drive to the husky farm. Upon your arrival, you and your group (a maximum of 15 participants) will be provided with winter gear (thermal overalls, boots, wool socks, a hat, a scarf, and gloves) and then you will receive a safety briefing in addition to dog sledding techniques from your experienced guide/musher. Now, for the fun part. You'll meet your energetic team of dogs before setting out at high speeds into the snowy forests of Finnish Lapland.

Midway through your 5-km (3-mile) tour, you'll stop to give the huskies a break and switch drivers. This is an excellent moment to take amazing photographs! Once you've returned to the husky farm, you'll be treated to warm beverages around a cosy fire. While sipping on your drink, your guide will share entertaining stories about dog sledding and the daily lives of the huskies. After saying goodbye to your four-legged friends, you'll return to Ylläs with lifelong memories.

When visiting Finland, don't miss this family-friendly, self-drive, dog sledding safari in Ylläs. Book your next adventure in Finnish Lapland today!

Was extremely nervous about doing this and being the driver but it was an incredible experience

We had a great time with our 4 kids and our youngest ones (9 & 11) enjoyed sitting in the sledge. It took us 40 minutes with a 5 minute stop to complete the 5 km ride but is was a little bit to short. Next time we would choose a longer track which will hopefully be a little bit more challenging

Fun, well-organised, perhaps a little crowded. It would perhaps be nice to have slightly smaller groups, so the tour guides can properly watch everyone and the ride can be a little smoother. This does make it suitable to do with children.

Gut und straff organisiert. Man merkt, dass es darauf angelegt ist mehrere Gruppen täglich dort durchzuführen. Die Fahrt als solche ist vielleicht 20 min.

Los cuidadores no me pareció que cuidaran tanto a los perros como dicen, y fueron un poco antipáticos .tampoco estuvimos los kilómetros que contratamos.
