Wrap up warmly and make your own way to the prearranged meeting point in central Luosto. On arrival, greet your expert guide and listen to a safety briefing on riding your 2-person snowmobile. Then, pull on a supplied thermal suit and helmet and get set to go.
Follow your guide and cruise into the wintery countryside. Pick up speed and whizz along snowy trails through a pine forest, admiring the sparkling white landscapes on route. Feel free to take turns to drive or ride pillion on your exhilarating journey.
After a short time, arrive at a traditional husky harm and hear the eager barks of the waiting huskies. These endearing dogs live for pulling sleds, and make their enthusiasm loud and clear! Meet the expert mushers and get up close to the dogs as you hear how they and their sleds have been used for transport in Lapland for centuries.
Get a safety briefing and instructions, and hop on your sled. Then, hold tight as the dogs pull away and feel your adrenaline rush as you accelerate through the snow. Feel the brisk Arctic air rush past your face as the dogs bound over the frozen terrain past pine woods, fells and open plains, without ever seeming to tire.
After a roughly 2.5-mile (4-kilometer) trek, return to the farm for a hot drink by the campfire. Chat to the friendly mushers and learn more the nature of these wonderful dogs, and how they’re trained and looked after.
When your visit is over, climb back on your snowmobile for your return ride. Your tour ends at the original starting point in Luosto.
