Located in the heart of Lapland near Sirkka, Finland, the Forest Troll 2-Day Husky Safari offers an immersive encounter with Arctic wilderness and the unique tradition of dog sledding. This journey invites adventurers aged 13 and up to pilot their own team of 4 to 6 spirited Alaskan huskies through expansive snow-covered forests and pristine tundra. Far from the bustle of city life, the safari provides an unmatched experience to explore the serene, whisper-quiet winter landscape while embracing the raw power and companionship of huskies.
Your adventure begins at a remote husky, reindeer, and horse farm where expert guides introduce you to your canine team and provide thorough instruction on sled handling and safety. Setting off across Lapland’s frozen wilderness, you’ll cover approximately 30 to 55 kilometers each day, traversing snow-laden forests and open fields that stretch beneath an expansive Arctic sky. Midday breaks feature lunch prepared over an open fire or campfire, highlighting local ingredients that enrich the cultural experience.
The first day culminates back at the farm, where the huskies rest comfortably in their kennels, and guests settle into cozy wilderness cabins nearby. Evenings here are a chance to savor regional meals, share stories, and, if fortune favors you, witness the ethereal glow of the Northern Lights illuminating the night. The spacious, rustic cabins serve as a peaceful refuge against the cold, deepening your connection to the elemental beauty of Lapland.
Day two picks up after a hearty breakfast, continuing the sledding adventure through the stunning Arctic wilds. The pace allows for appreciation of the region’s distinct features—silent forests, frosted trees, and the crunch of snow beneath sled runners. By afternoon, you’ll return to the farm, enriched by this intimate encounter with nature and your skilled huskies.
