Opis
More time with the dogs and deeper into Lapland’s nature.
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.
On this longer tour you drive 1.5–2 hours through forest trails and over open lake views. You share a sled and swap drivers; families with children can share one large sled. Halfway the dogs get a rest and a new team takes over while you enjoy coffee or tea and a light snack by the fire.

Miejsce zbiórki
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.
Jak dojechać
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.
