Husky Expedition
An incredible opportunity to experience what it is like to be an authentic dog ‘musher’, this unforgettable winter adventure husky expedition takes you deep into the wilds of northern Finland and up beyond the Arctic Circle. Spend five remarkable days on husky safari in Finland, looking after your own team of huskies and driving them through the pristine wilderness of the high Arctic.
Travelling in small groups, in the company of an experienced guide, you will skirt the edge of the Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, negotiating your team of dogs along ancient forest trails and across fells and frozen lakes. With just the sound of the excited dogs and the runners on the snow to accompany you, you’ll experience some of the cleanest air and most breathtaking landscapes in northern Europe.
Spending your evenings of this husky expedition in remote wilderness cabins, you’ll get even closer to nature, as you forego running water and electricity in favour of warm fires, the company of the dogs and, hopefully, the dazzling displays of the Northern Lights.
