This snowmobile safari will give you a chance to ride your own snowmobile on the forest trails and enjoy the thrill of a husky ride. The beautiful wintery scenery whilst driving through the local forest area makes for fantastic photo opportunities.
The tour ends up at husky camp, where the dogs are waiting to take you for a 5 km ride in their sledges. Warm drinks are served at the same time as you hear stories about the dogs, their breeds, pedigrees and daily life in the kennel. You can pet the dogs and take photos.
The riding time on snowmobiles is approximately 1 ½ hours and time in the husky farm is 1 hour. The average speed during our tours is limited due to the safety and traffic regulations. Two adults ride on one snowmobile, single riding supplement is extra.
