Luxury Dog sledding: Tour Itinerary

Day 1
After arriving at the airport, you will be transferred to your accommodation for the duration of your stay – a deluxe Aurora View Suite at the hotel Iso-Syöte. Once you have checked in and had a chance to refresh yourself after your journey, you will be able to head down to the restaurant for a delicious dinner. Then, relax in your stunning suite; perhaps sit back in the private jacuzzi whilst looking up at the night sky, before heading for a great night of sleep.

Day 2: Your dog sled adventure begins!
After a delicious breakfast, your exciting and exclusive 2-day dog sledding tour begins in the pristine, beautiful landscapes of Finnish Lapland. From frozen swamps and lakes to deep, snow-capped forests, you'll see breathtaking scenery throughout your journey. You will be taken to the Husky Farm to meet your entire dog sled team, and the dogs will be delighted to see you! Your guide will give you all the necessary instructions you will need to keep your dogs safe and happy. Glide through the wilderness, listening to the skids of the sled and the paws of the dogs on the pristine snow. On the way, there will be breaks for coffee and snacks by an open fire. Once you arrive at the traditional wilderness hut, you will experience a true community feeling where the whole group will work together to get everything ready for the evening. The campfire will be kindled and the food is prepared together. There won't be any running water, but you can enjoy a sauna and share your favourite memories of the day with each other whilst sitting by the burning campfire. With a little luck, you may see the magical northern lights in the night sky.


Day 3: Back to Civilization
Strengthen yourselves with a hearty breakfast for this eventful day. Quickly be infected by the enthusiasm and eager anticipation of the Huskies​ and hop on the curves of your sled. Dive into the wilds of Lapland and enjoy the breathtaking views. On the way you will again be provided with coffee and snacks by an open fire, and in the late afternoon, you will arrive back at the Husky Farm. Then it's time to say goodbye to your Huskies​, whom you will surely remember fondly. After a short transfer you will arrive at Hotel Isosyote, where you will spend the night in a luxurious Aurora View Suite. Now you can relax and enjoy all the amenities the hotel has to offer. Swimming, sauna, and even some Arctic spa treatments (surcharge) are available. The day is completed with a delicious dinner in the restaurant and a final night in your spacious suite.
