Husky sledding and farm visit

Service Description

When trying husky sledding as our guest, there is no need to be an expert with dogs – anyone can participate! The experienced local musher will teach you a few basic things before we start, and then you just enjoy the ride. The dogs pull a sled in groups of 4-8 dogs, and guests can steer the sled by changing weight from one side to another and slow down by pushing down a break with one foot. Your team of dogs will be following the guiding team running in the front, so you only need to make sure you slow down with the break if getting too close to the team in front of you. On our husky experience, we take you to a husky farm on the Norwegian side of River Teno. You get to meet the dogs and their owner explains about husky sledding and how to ride the sled. During snow-free times, you get to be the passenger on a wagon with wheels. When there is snow on the ground, you get to try driving the husky-pulled winter sled your-self on thefells. After the 2 hour ride with huskies, we will sit by open fire, enjoy some snacks and hot drinks and hear more from the owner about how it is to run a husky farm and compete in races like Finnmarkslopet. Husky program is suitable for children as well. Children younger than 7 should sit on their parents laps as a passenger on the sled and very small children and babies are not recommended to take part on the sledding part of the program. If you are travelling with children, you can always send us email so we can make arrangements for your family to have a fun and safe husky experience with us!  Duration: 5 hrs (half-day trip to husky farm) What is included: Pick-up max 10 km from Utsjoki village, transportation to husky farm, hot drinks, small snacks, extra clothing if needed, 2 hour husky ride.
