Husky Adventure to the Wilderness

Short on time, but big on adventure?... Then this is the trip for you!

This ultimate short break takes you to the small authentic resort of Luosto, in the heart of Lapland for the chance to become a true dog musher. 

Just 90-minutes from Rovaniemi airport, Luosto is home to Hotel Aurora where the adventure begins and ends. After a restful nights sleep in a comfortable hotel room, complete with private sauna, you will pack your overnight bag and meet your husky guides at the nearby Safari House who will transport you to the kennels. 

Meet the dogs and pack your sled then, after a full briefing on mushing, hold on tight and release the brake. You will set of at an exhilarating speed and can expect to travel between 30-40km each day, driving your own team of dogs through snow laden forests and across the frozen marshes and lakes of the Pyha-Luosto area.  Before long you will settle into the dogs pace, enjoying the journey and breaking along the way for a tasty campfire lunch. After a full day out with the dogs you will arrive at your simple, yet cosy cabin where you and your fellow mushers will help to look after and feed the dogs, collect water for cooking, fire up the sauna and prepare your evening meal together. In this wilderness setting, far from any light pollution, you may be privileged enough to witness the magical beauty of the aurora borealis.

Awake to the silence of nature and a hearty breakfast will set you up for another exhilarating morning on the trails, as you head back to the husky farm. Bid farewell to the dogs and return to Hotel Aurora for a final night in Lapland. A hot shower awaits, along-side delicious Lappish cuisine and exemplary hospitality and tonight's accommodation offers a little more luxury with views to the Arctic night skies from the cosy confines of a Premium Glass Igloo. The perfect way to end your winter dog sled adventure.
