Travel through snowy forest trails behind a husky team before continuing the evening in search of the Northern Lights at carefully chosen viewpoints around Rovaniemi. The experience combines a traditional sled ride with time outdoors under Arctic night skies, offering a mix of movement and quiet observation.
A husky team leads you along forest tracks with a short briefing beforehand covering how the sled works and what happens during the ride. Depending on the season, sleds may run on wheels instead of snow, but the route and overall experience remain the same through the forest landscape.
After the ride, the evening shifts to aurora searching at a nearby forest or lakeside area outside the city. Time is spent outdoors while your guide monitors sky conditions and explains how to spot movement in the night sky. Hot blueberry juice is served during pauses, helping keep warm while waiting for possible activity overhead.
If conditions are right, the Northern Lights may appear across the sky above open Arctic terrain. Even when they don’t show, the setting still offers a clear view of stars and a quiet winter night environment away from artificial light.
Activities take place in forest and lakeside areas just outside Rovaniemi, selected for their low light levels and open views of the sky. These surroundings are commonly used for night excursions due to their distance from built-up areas.
Rovaniemi sits within the Arctic Circle, where winter brings long nights and frequent opportunities for clear skies. The surrounding landscape includes frozen waterways, dense forest, and wide open spaces ideal for aurora viewing.
No previous experience is required, and husky sled rides are fully guided throughout the journey. Guests ride in shared sleds operated by trained handlers who manage the dogs and route.
There is no minimum age for participation, though younger guests must be supervised at all times due to outdoor winter conditions.
The experience combines a traditional husky ride with a guided evening focused on aurora viewing, bringing two Arctic activities together in one structured outing. Locations are selected based on visibility and weather conditions to make the most of the night.
Small group operation allows guides to adjust timing and location depending on snow conditions and sky activity. The focus remains on safe travel through winter terrain while allowing time to experience the Arctic night environment.
Aurora visibility depends on natural conditions such as cloud cover, solar activity, and atmospheric clarity. These factors change daily and cannot be predicted with certainty.
Guides select viewing spots outside the city to improve the chances, but sightings are never guaranteed even on clear nights.
A trained musher leads a team of huskies pulling a shared sled through forest trails. Guests sit in the sled while the guide manages direction and pace.
Before departure, a short briefing explains how the sled operates and what to expect during the ride.
No, the sled is operated by an experienced guide who manages the dogs and route.
Guests ride as passengers throughout the forest trail section of the experience.
There is no minimum age for participation, and younger guests can join when accompanied by an adult.
Due to cold outdoor conditions, suitable winter clothing is provided and supervision is required throughout.
Warm winter overalls, boots, and gloves are provided for the duration of the experience.
It is recommended to wear warm layers underneath to stay comfortable during time outdoors in low temperatures.
Most of the experience takes place outdoors, split between the husky ride and time spent at aurora viewing locations.
Short transfers and warm drink breaks are included between activities.
Viewing takes place in forest or lakeside areas outside Rovaniemi, chosen for minimal light pollution and open sky visibility.
Locations may change depending on weather and cloud cover on the day.
