Family Arctic Adventure
Husky Safari in Lapland
A magical dog-sledding journey through the Arctic wilderness
Included family experience
What to expect
Deep in the snowy wilderness surrounding Torassieppi Eco Reindeer Resort, the huskies wait excitedly for their next adventure. These incredible Arctic dogs are born to run, and the energy they bring to the experience is impossible not to feel. Wrapped up in warm thermal clothing, surrounded by sparkling snow-covered trees and crisp Arctic air, families are transported into a world that feels wonderfully untouched and completely magical.
The adventure begins with a warm welcome from experienced local guides, who introduce guests to the huskies and explain how the safari works. Children are often fascinated from the very first moment they meet the dogs. Huskies are friendly, intelligent and full of personality, and every team has its own unique characters. Some dogs bark excitedly in anticipation while others patiently wait for the signal to begin. It all adds to the sense that something extraordinary is about to happen.
Unlike many rushed tourist attractions, the husky safari included with Lapland Famille is designed to feel personal and immersive. You will travel as 2 adults per sled, with children riding in a covered sleigh, allowing everyone to enjoy the experience together without feeling crowded or hurried. The local guide will lead the front sled and each team will travel behind taking it in turns to drive the sled or to enjoy the experience as a passenger.

Join us for the ride
The moment the sled begins to glide across the snow is unforgettable. The noise of the kennels disappears almost instantly and is replaced by a peaceful Arctic silence broken only by the soft sound of paws running across fresh snow. The huskies move gracefully through frozen forests and open snowy trails, creating an experience that feels almost dreamlike. The route itself winds through some of Lapland’s most beautiful winter landscapes. Towering pine trees coated in thick snow line the trails while frozen lakes and untouched wilderness stretch endlessly into the distance. During the darkest winter months, the soft blue Arctic light creates an atmosphere unlike anywhere else on earth. If you are especially lucky, the Northern Lights may even dance overhead, making the experience feel even more magical.
Children are often completely captivated during the safari. For many, it is the first time they have experienced such complete stillness and natural beauty. The husky ride is one of those rare moments where the entire family simply pauses and enjoys the experience without distractions. Phones are forgotten, schedules disappear and the focus becomes the pure joy of Lapland itself.
What makes a husky safari so special is that it combines adventure with genuine Arctic tradition. Dog sledding has been part of northern life for generations, long before roads connected these remote regions. Travelling by husky sled allows visitors to experience Lapland in a truly authentic way while also appreciating the remarkable bond between the locals and their dogs. The safari is also perfectly suited for families who may be experiencing Arctic activities for the first time. The routes are designed to be enjoyable and accessible while still delivering the excitement people dream about when they imagine Lapland. There is no need for previous experience, and the professional guides ensure that everyone feels comfortable throughout the excursion.

Meet the local Huskies
After the ride, guests will have the opportunity to spend more time with the huskies, take photographs and learn more about their lives and training. Children especially love meeting the dogs up close after the safari, and many quickly choose a favourite husky they never want to leave behind. One of the most remarkable parts of the experience is the atmosphere surrounding the entire excursion. There is something deeply emotional about travelling through silent snowy forests powered only by a team of incredible dogs. It creates a feeling of connection to nature that is increasingly rare in modern life.
At Torassieppi Eco Reindeer Resort, the wilderness setting makes the experience feel even more authentic. Located beside a historic reindeer farm and surrounded by untouched Arctic scenery, the resort offers the perfect backdrop for a true Lapland adventure. Activities begin right outside your accommodation, meaning families can fully immerse themselves in the magic of the Arctic from the moment they arrive. A husky safari is far more than simply an excursion during your holiday. It becomes one of those treasured family memories that is talked about for years afterwards. The excitement of meeting the dogs, the beauty of the snowy landscapes and the wonder of gliding silently through the Arctic wilderness combine to create something genuinely unforgettable.
For families dreaming of a magical Lapland holiday filled with authentic experiences and extraordinary moments, the husky safari is an absolute must. It captures everything people imagine when they picture Lapland… adventure, snow-covered forests, Arctic wildlife and unforgettable winter magic all wrapped into one incredible experience.
