up to 7 years old.
These
lightweight sleds
make it easy to zip through the snow.
We keep
group sizes small, with just 5 husky teams max per ride. That’s 10 people.
Our tracks go through a mix of
forest paths and across the

After the ride, there’s
plenty of time to pet your huskies
and meet the rest of the pack. If you’re lucky, you might even meet some puppies! Inside our warm, cozy hut, you can enjoy a cup of hot berry juice, munch on cookies, and hear stories about the kennel and life with the huskies.
The heart of our kennel belongs to
Mari and Kari-Matti, professional mushers and breeders who live side by side with their
50 Alaskan and Siberian huskies. These dogs are known for their strength, speed, and endurance. They are professionally trained and absolutely love running and pulling sleds. The owners ensure their dogs get the perfect balance of work, rest, and food, keeping them in high spirits — and that is shared with you during the husky experience.
