Family trip in the winter wonderland- Huskies for the whole family

The child-loving huskies welcome even the smallest of the family with a happy bark. In addition to husky rides, we set aside plenty of time to pet and groom dogs.

This sledge ride can be done by even the smallest dog fans, and the toes stay warm under the blankets even in colder weather.

The route runs nice and smooth along the beautiful nature. After the trip, it’s time to hug the dogs, get to know our big and hairy family in complete peace, and get familiarized with northern life style.

Our huskies are used to children and are eager to share affection with just about everyone. At the end of a trip we enjoy local pastry called kampanisu and a hot drink by the campfire in a cozy hut.
