All centres are vetted for safety and quality. Your adventure is in good hands with adventuro.
Stand on the runners of a sled pulled by four to six huskies for ten kilometres near Levi, and a companion can sit as a passenger so not everyone has to mush. About four hours includes the briefing, the run, a hot drink in a Lapp hut, and time with the dogs. Groups of up to fourteen can be planned with teams matched to who drives and who sits.
Kennel briefing follows collection from your accommodation, where your guide shows the brake and how a team starts before you take lines with four to six dogs. Passengers can sit on the sled while you drive, so share who drives and who sits when you reserve. Pace on the trail is kept for first-time drivers as well as for people who already know the runners.
Ten kilometres later you warm up in a Lapp hut with a hot drink and spend time with the dogs. Meals are not included, so eat before or after if you need more than the drink stop, then we bring you back to Levi. Four hours include the yard, the trail and the hut, rather than a rushed lap and a straight drive home.
Husky kennels serving Levi are where snow trails start, and the hut is on site after the run, not at a second venue across the resort. Working kennel, then forest snow, then the hut, with the village sitting behind you once the teams leave the yard, is the shape of the visit. Ten kilometres of local snow country rather than a long transfer into another valley is the run.
Around Levi the kennel sits close enough that briefing, trail and hut time still fit a four-hour visit, with the resort as the place you transfer from. Forest snow around the kennel is the riding ground once the teams leave the yard. Same stay you left is where you return, after the hut stop.
Mushing beforehand is not required, because the yard briefing covers the brake and how a team starts. Standing on the runners needs a steady stance and gloves you can grip with, and passengers should dress for sitting still in cold air. Share who drives, who sits, and children's ages when you reserve, so teams can be matched before you arrive.
Four hours include time in the yard as well as on the trail, so a warm base layer and shoes you can stand in on snow belong in the kit. Groups of up to fourteen can be planned with teams matched to your split of drivers and passengers. Meals are not included, so eat around the visit if the hut drink will not be enough.
Real teams of four to six dogs and the choice to drive or sit are what you get, rather than a token lap with no say in the runners. Four hours include the briefing, the trail, the hut drink and time with the dogs, not a rushed circuit. Mushers stay with the group on the trail and in the yard, and collection from your stay is part of the visit.
Passengers are planned for, so not everyone has to mush, which is useful for mixed groups. Hut stops are on site after the run, so you warm up where the dogs live rather than in a separate cafe across town. Same team that meets you in Levi stays with you until you are home.
We collect you in Levi and at the kennel assign teams of four to six dogs. Brake and balance are taught before anyone stands on the runners, so the first metres on snow feel considered rather than sudden.
You drive or ride as a passenger for ten kilometres while your musher keeps the group together. The pace is set for first-timers, with time to settle into the rhythm of the team.
A hot drink in the Lapp hut and time with the huskies follow the trail. When you have had a chance with the dogs, we return you to your Levi accommodation.
About four hours including briefing, the ten-kilometre run, a hot drink in the Lapp hut, and time with the dogs.
A passenger can sit while you drive. Tell us that split when you reserve so each sled has the right number of teams.
No mushing experience is required. Brake and balance are taught in the yard before the trail, and the pace is set for first-time drivers.
Send children's ages so we know who should stand on the runners and who should sit as a passenger. That split is much easier to plan the day before than at the kennel gate.
Give one week's notice to cancel or change with a full refund. Inside that week the booking is non-refundable because teams are already set.
Trail changes for weather come by phone. That is the kennel adjusting safety, not you cancelling late.
A hot drink in the Lapp hut is included. Meals are not part of this safari, so plan food around the four-hour window if you want more than a drink on the trail.
Mention drink allergies when you reserve so the hut stop is prepared for your group rather than guessed on the day.
We collect you in Levi, take you to the kennel, and return after the hut and time with the dogs. There is no separate meeting point to find in the cold.
Share a full address and a mobile number. Four hours is a long window to be unreachable if pickup shifts slightly in traffic or snow.
One to fourteen guests. Say how many will drive versus sit because each driving sled uses four to six dogs plus a passenger seat.
Fourteen is the cap for this kennel day. Extra guests cannot be added once teams are arranged.
Warm inner layers, snow boots, and grippy gloves if you drive. Passengers need extra warmth for sitting.
The kennel provides outer kit for the trail when needed. Mention who sits so layers make sense.
Yes, after the run, when you are off the runners and the guide clears time at the kennel. That is when the dogs are settled enough for photos.
Professional photography is an optional extra. Phones and braking do not mix on the first kilometre, so save the camera for the yard.
Yes. One passenger can sit on the sled while another drives the same team, so not everyone has to stand on the runners.
Tell us that split in advance so sleds and dogs are counted correctly for your group size. Changing it at the kennel means reshuffling teams that are already harnessed.
We need names, ages, your Levi address, a mobile, who drives and who sits, and any drink allergies. Those notes are how we match teams before you arrive.
Give at least one week's notice if the date needs to move, so the dogs are not reshuffled the night before your visit.
