#A once in a lifetime experience! Would recommend anyone that likes dogs even if it's a little bit to do it. And I believe the 45-60 min range is perfect. For each sled is two people and you'll drive the half of it. The road is beautiful and the team and the guides incredibly friendly.
To finish it off you'll get some gingerbread cookies and some warm juice which is delicious! 10/10 day

This tour exceeded our expectations! By far the best snowmobile tour i had ever taken so far! We also asked them if there possibility they can provide us with no pork options for food and they arranged it! We had an amazing time and our leader was the best😍
We went into the woods and then on a frozen lake all with the snowmobile and later we had this amazing BBQ at the camp. Amazing daytrip! Definitely will do it again and again!

I originally booked the Aurora Chase with huskies, but due to a sudden weather change it had to be cancelled as it was too warm and slippery, and I really appreciate that animal welfare is a top priority in Finland. Huge respect for that! The company immediately offered me an Aurora photography tour instead, and I’m so glad I accepted.
From the moment I arrived at the office, the experience was smooth and welcoming. A small tip: be patient the reception team is small, but the ladies working there are incredibly kind and helpful. They also provide warm clothing free of charge, which is amazing when you’re heading out into the cold.
The tour itself was fantastic. I travelled in a warm, comfortable bus with two guides and a careful, friendly driver, while the photographers followed in a separate car with all their equipment. I was unbelievably lucky: the aurora was already waiting for me when we arrived! It appeared and disappeared throughout the evening, and my guide Gigi (and the rest of his lovely team forgive me, I’m terrible with names!) kept me informed, entertained, and well taken care of.
The bus driver was amazing safe, knowledgeable, and even shared beautiful stories about auroras from different parts of Finland and beyond. The Nordic team prepared a cosy little BBQ: reindeer sausage with Finnish bread and mustard, hot blueberry juice, and marshmallows roasted over the fire with biscuits for dessert. Such a perfect touch!
The photographers deserve a special shoutout. They worked in the freezing cold with bare hands to capture the best possible shots for everyone. Some people expected more from the lights, but nature isn’t predictable… and then the magic happened. On the way back, the aurora suddenly grew stronger. Without hesitation, the team pulled over in the middle of nowhere and we all jumped out to witness a full, dancing aurora across the cold night sky. Absolutely unforgettable.
The energy, the care, the friendliness of the whole team everything was beyond wonderful. I can’t recommend this tour enough! 🌌

Dash through the snow with huskies for speed and excitement, or drift peacefully with reindeer on story-rich journeys rooted in Sámi tradition. Choose from quick family-friendly rides, enchanting evening tours under the Northern Lights, or full-day experiences that blend Santa Claus Village visits with snowmobile safaris. No matter the option, you’ll enjoy hassle-free transfers, snug winter gear, and the expertise of local guides who make every Arctic moment seamless.
Overview
On-site ride duration: 10 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes, depending on tour type
Cost range: €87 to €259 per person, depending on inclusions and upgrades
Best time to visit: December to March for peak snow and the chance to pair with Northern Lights tours
Meeting/drop-off point: Rovaniemi City Center, with select tours offering hotel pick-up in premium vehicles
Key attractions: Husky kennels, reindeer farms, Arctic forest trails, self-driven husky sleds, cultural extras like Arctic Circle certificates, reindeer licenses, and Santa visits
All tours include round-trip transfers from Rovaniemi City Center, with some even offering hotel pick-up. Farms lie outside the city and can be hard to reach in deep snow, so transfers ensure a stress-free start and finish.
Meet your Arctic companions
At the kennels and reindeer farms, you’ll have time to greet the animals, learn about their lives, and feel the anticipation as huskies are harnessed for the run or reindeer are gently readied for the sleigh ride.
Two very different styles of sledding
Husky rides deliver speed and hands-on thrills, especially if you choose a self-driven sled where adults alternate steering and riding. Reindeer rides are slower and steadier, with guides leading the way while sharing stories of Sámi culture.
Scenic routes through Lapland
Short rides cover just a few minutes of forest trails, while longer safaris stretch up to 10 km through snowy woodlands, frozen lakes, and open wilderness. Each route highlights Lapland’s silence, beauty, and Arctic charm.
Warm up and recharge
After the ride, most tours include a stop by the fire for hot berry juice, tea, or cookies. Full-day trips like the highlights tour often add a hearty meal like salmon soup, with vegetarian options available.
Make it a complete Arctic day
Combo tours like the day and evening tour bundle huskies and reindeer with extras like snowmobiling, Santa Claus Village, or even Northern Lights hunting. It’s the best way to maximize your time, avoid juggling bookings, and save compared to separate tickets.
Things to know before booking your sledding tour in Rovaniemi
Rovaniemi offers a wide range of husky and reindeer experiences, from short family-friendly rides to longer safaris across snowy trails and evening tours under the Northern Lights. Huskies bring energy and speed, while reindeer provide a slower, more traditional way to explore the Arctic.
Since the farms are outside the city and not easy to reach, every tour includes round-trip transfers from the City Center. Premium tours like the day and evening tour or Meet Santa & animals tour, even include hotel pick-up in comfortable vehicles, so you don’t have to worry about arranging transport.
On husky tours, you can choose between steering your own team or sitting back as a guide takes the reins. Self-driving is active and adventurous, with two adults sharing a sled and switching turns, while guide-driven rides with both huskies and reindeer are calmer and better suited for families or those wanting to relax.
The introductory reindeer rides last just 400m to 500m, while extended farm visits extend to 2.5 km or 40 minutes on the trail. Husky options range from 800m introductions to 7–10 km safaris lasting up to 4 hours. Full-day tours like the highlights tour or snowmobile and sledding combo bundle multiple activities—huskies, reindeer, snowmobiles, and Santa Claus Village—in one trip, so you cover more in one day while saving time and money compared to booking separately.
Cultural immersion is a highlight of both experiences. Husky tours often include kennel visits where you can meet the dogs, take photos, and hear stories about Lapland’s sledding traditions. Reindeer tours bring you to authentic family-run farms, where you’ll feed the animals and learn about Sámi herding culture. Premium tours also include extras like an official Arctic Circle Certificate, a Reindeer driver’s license, or even a Santa meet-and-greet to make the experience more memorable.
Options like the Northern Lights husky ride or Northern Lights reindeer tour let you pair an Arctic adventure with the magic of the night sky. While sightings can’t be guaranteed, expert local guides know the best wilderness spots and times to maximize your chances of witnessing the Aurora Borealis.
Most tours include hot drinks and snacks to keep you warm after your ride, while longer experiences often add traditional meals such as salmon soup, with vegetarian options available. These touches ensure you stay fueled and comfortable throughout your Arctic adventure.
Small-group sizes, typically capped at around 8 participants, ensure a personal and intimate atmosphere, giving you plenty of time to interact with the animals, guides, and local culture without feeling rushed.
All tours offer winter clothing, such as thermal overalls, boots, gloves, helmets, and balaclavas, meaning you don’t have to worry about packing specialist gear; everything is provided to keep you safe and warm in Arctic conditions.
Your sledding experience tickets explained
Husky sledding
Race across snowy forests and frozen lakes as energetic Alaskan huskies pull your sled with unstoppable enthusiasm. Meet the dogs at their kennels, get hands-on with their training routines, and immerse yourself in the centuries-old art of mushing that still thrives in Lapland today.
Glide peacefully through winter trails behind gentle reindeer, experiencing Lapland at a slower, more magical pace. Feed the herd at a reindeer farm, hear captivating stories of Sámi herding traditions, and even earn your own Reindeer Driver’s License as part of this cultural journey.
Spend time at husky kennels and reindeer farms, where guides share stories of the animals’ lives, traditions, and role in Lapland culture before you set off.

December kicks off the season with fresh snow and a festive Christmas atmosphere in Rovaniemi. Expect short daylight hours but plenty of magic, with tours filling quickly during the holiday period.
January is the coldest month, with deep snow and long nights that make it ideal for pairing sledding with Northern Lights tours. Fewer holiday crowds mean a slightly calmer pace.
February and March offer longer days, more daylight for sightseeing, and slightly milder temperatures. This is peak season for variety, with the widest choice of husky and reindeer tours available, though tours can sell out quickly.
Late November and early April sometimes offer sledding if snow conditions allow. Availability is more limited, so it’s best to check in advance if you’re traveling on the edges of the season.
Most husky and reindeer tours depart from Rovaniemi City Center, which is the main meeting and drop-off point. Select tours, such as the day and evening tour, also offer hotel pick-up in premium vehicles for added convenience.
If you are staying outside the center, the meeting point is well-connected:
From Rovaniemi Airport: A short 15–20 minute taxi or shuttle ride takes you directly to the City Center.
From Rovaniemi Train Station: The station is only about 2km from the center, reachable in 5 minutes by taxi or 20 minutes on foot.
From Santa Claus Village: Local buses and taxis connect the village to the City Center in around 15 minutes.
Once you arrive at the meeting point, guides ensure a smooth check-in and transfers to the farms, so you can focus on enjoying your Arctic adventure without worrying about logistics.

Visitor tips & guidelines
Dress in layers rather than relying only on the provided overalls, as temperatures can shift quickly between standing still at the farms and riding through open snowy landscapes.
Sunglasses or goggles are helpful on bright days, since the low Arctic sun reflecting off snow during husky rides can be surprisingly intense.
Reindeer rides are usually slower than husky rides, which means you have more time to take photos and enjoy the silence of Lapland’s forests; bring a camera with good low-light settings if joining an evening tour.
Gloves with touchscreen tips are practical, letting you capture photos without exposing your hands to the cold during stops on the trail.
Avoid using heavy perfumes or strongly scented lotions before visiting, as both huskies and reindeer are highly sensitive to smells.
For Northern Lights combo tours, bring a tripod or a phone stabilizer; long exposure shots work best while the animals are resting.
If you are joining a self-driven husky ride, practice leaning your weight slightly into turns and keeping your knees bent; small adjustments make the sled smoother and easier to control.
Afternoon husky rides can be slightly warmer and less busy than early mornings, making them a good choice for families with younger children.
Snacks like Fazer chocolate or hot berry juice are often provided, but carrying a small water bottle ensures you stay hydrated during longer safaris.
