After a hearty breakfast, you will receive information about the tour programme and the adventures that lie ahead over the next few days.

You will have time to explore the surroundings on your own or relax in the hotel this evening.

Day 3: Your first husky safari
Fill your belly and head out for a unique day on the husky sled. Your first trip with your four-legged companions will be all about learning and perfecting the technique of dog sledding. After a short introduction and safety briefing, you will get on the slopes of the sled and head out into the wilderness of Finland. Enjoy the breathtaking views and be enchanted by the stark beauty of nature. Back at the hotel you can enjoy a delicious dinner and unwind in your private sauna.

Day 4: With the Huskies in the wilderness
Today's route takes you through some 35km of snow-covered forests, frozen lakes, and open fields. Enjoy the silence that surrounds you, broken only by the paws of the Huskies on the snow underfoot. Lunch is served around the campfire in a cosy atmosphere. After the Huskies have been taken care of, you will return to the hotel for a delicious hot dinner.

Day 5: Safari to the Harjajärvi Wilderness Hut
On this day you will set out into the wilderness and prepare for a night in a cosy rustic hut. Passing unbelievable views and beautiful winter landscapes en route, you will forget everyday life for a while as you soak in this magical winter world. In the hut, a hot sauna will be waiting for you, which will do you some good after this eventful day. Feed the dogs together as a team and then prepare dinner to enjoy as a group; over a delicious hot meal, share your favourite experiences so far with your fellow travellers.
