Moderate
We start the day with a snowmobile drive enjoying the snowy landscapes as we make our way towards a local farm. During the tour we will visit both Arctic animals, reindeers and huskies. At the farm we get to meet the reindeer up close and take a short reindeer ride (1km) on a traditional sledge. Afterwards the reindeer herders will tell you stories about the reindeer and reindeer husbandry in Lapland.
Next, they are waiting for us at the husky kennel, where the dogs are already eagerly awaiting their chance to do what they do best – to run. We will take off on a 2 km husky safari through the wilderness. When we return to the husky kennel, we have a chance to get to know the huskies a bit better before returning to the city by snowmobiles.
During the tour we will enjoy delicious local lunch.
