🗺 What to Expect

The huskies are waiting when you arrive at our safari house near Pisavaara Nature Reserve, after we've collected you from your accommodation in Rovaniemi. You'll change into warm winter clothing and meet the team before your musher sets off with you on the sled along snow-packed forest trails toward Santa's hidden cabin.

Santa welcomes your group inside the log cabin for glögi and Finnish snacks, with time to chat and take photos. After riding back through the forest with the huskies, you'll stop to meet and feed our reindeer at the safari house with warm drinks and traditional snacks. Once you've returned your gear, we'll transfer you back to Rovaniemi.

📍 Location

Husky routes wind through woodland from our base beside Pisavaara Nature Reserve, north of Rovaniemi. Santa's cabin sits in quiet forest country that feels a world away from the city centre.

These woodland trails are ones the huskies run regularly through the winter, so the dogs know the route and you get a steady, confident ride out to the cabin and back. Hotel pickup and drop-off in Rovaniemi is included.

✅ Prerequisites

Sit back while your musher guides the dogs. No previous experience is needed, and children from age three can join when accompanied by an adult. The steady pace suits families.

Sled riders should dress warmly underneath the overalls we provide, and a warm hat makes a difference on the open sled ride. The dogs set a brisk but even pace, so good layering keeps you comfortable for the full trip through the forest.

⭐ Why Choose Us

Time with the huskies before and after the ride matters to us, and we keep groups small so Santa's cabin never feels crowded. The dogs are cared for year-round and know these forest trails well.

Mushers know these teams personally and are happy to answer questions about the dogs and life here through the Arctic winter. Every guide holds an official travel industry safety passport, and the mix of husky sled, Santa visit and reindeer at the base gives you several Lapland experiences in one outing.
