Überblick
The perfect first husky ride — for beginners, couples and families with children.
SoulMate Huskies is a small family kennel on Ritavaara hill in Pello, Finnish Lapland, run by Satumarja Stenman — a certified professional animal trainer who breeds and races Siberian huskies. Tours are private and in small groups, and the dogs are part of the family.
You share a sled: one of you drives while the other sits, and you can swap along the way. The trail is about 10 km and you spend about an hour on the sled. Afterwards you warm up with juice and snacks by the fireplace, visit the kennel and cuddle the puppies — and get photos from the tour.

Treffpunkt
SoulMate Huskies, Ritavaara — Rovaniementie 56, 95700 Pello (follow the route on the map, the turn is before this address). About 1 h 20 min by car from Rovaniemi along road 83. Transport is not included — a rental car is easiest; a transfer from Rovaniemi can be arranged on request.
So findest du hin
Please arrive about 5 minutes before the start (± 8 minutes). Allow extra time — even though the road is straight, people drive slower in winter. Careful: navigation takes you about 50 metres past the turn. Just before the address turn LEFT, and immediately LEFT again (an inconspicuous turn), then follow the forest road for about 400 metres — see the route on the map. When you see an iron gate and the dogs, leave the car at least 30 metres before the farm. The dogs get very excited when guests arrive — wait by the gate and stand calmly, the guide will come for you.
