BOOK HUSKY SAFARI IN PYHÄ
Gäste erleben eine Hundeschlittenfahrt mit lebhaften Huskys durch verschneiten Wald
A husky safari (also known as dog sledding) is a guided winter activity where guests travel through snowy landscapes pulled by a team of trained huskies.
During the experience, you:
  • Learn how to handle the sled
  • Drive through forests and open snowfields
  • Experience silence between moments of excitement
  • Meet and interact with the dogs
No previous experience is required.

Lapland offers many husky experiences — but location matters.
Pyhä stands out because:
  • Quieter trails
  • Smaller group sizes
  • Easy access to wilderness
  • Calm atmosphere compared to larger destinations
This creates a more personal and immersive experience.
