Husky Safari 5 km Self-Drive, Levi

No olvides

F.A.Q.Can children drive a husky sled on this safari?Children from age 4 can ride as passengers. The sled is driven by an adult. One sled seats up to 2 adults and 1 small child under 7. Final seating is decided on site by the host based on the group composition.How many dogs pull each sled?Each sled is pulled by a team of dogs. The exact number depends on the team composition on the day. The dogs are introduced by name before the ride begins.What is the terrain like on the 5 km route?The route runs mainly along a frozen river with forest sections on either side. It is a natural Lappish trail — sheltered and scenic, not an open exposed course. Riding time is approximately 20–30 minutes.What is the difference between the 5 km and 10 km husky safaris?Both operate from the same kennel with the same dogs and mushers. The 5 km route follows a frozen river through forest — sheltered and suitable from age 4. The 10 km route starts on a river section then opens onto frozen swamp: flat, wide, exposed, with fell views on the horizon. The 10 km is more physically demanding and recommended from age 7. Ski goggles are essential on the 10 km.What happens after the ride?Guests walk the kennel, spend time in the free-run area with the dogs, and warm up in the kota hut with hot berry juice and cookies. The host talks about life with the dogs and answers questions.Important remarks:Price periods: Two price periods: 1 Dec – 28 Feb and 1 Mar – 31 Mar.Ages: Not recommended for children under 4 due to longer time outdoors.Sled capacity: Up to 2 adults and 1 small child (under 7).
