Husky Ride by Troll Cart 2,5 km and Kennel Visit

During: 15.9 - 31.10 (snowless season)

Step into the golden beauty of Lapland’s autumn wilderness with a visit to a secluded husky kennel just 15 minutes from Levi. Surrounded by colorful forests and the earthy scent of fallen leaves, this peaceful retreat offers a rare chance to experience the energy of sled dogs outside the snow season.

The kennel is home to a friendly pack of around 70 dogs - including Siberian and Arctic-Alaskan huskies, plus a few reindeer dogs - all well cared for and bursting with character. Each dog has its own name and personality, and during your visit you’ll be introduced to the team in a warm, personal way.

Your adventure begins with a guided 2.5 km husky ride in a custom-made troll cart, a wheeled sled designed for training during the snow-free months. Led by experienced mushers, the dogs pull the cart smoothly through forest trails glowing with autumn color - crisp air, rustling birch leaves, and golden pines creating a vivid, sensory-rich landscape.

After the ride, take time to thank your husky team and take photos before heading into the kennel for a closer look. You’ll meet more of the dogs, walk among their enclosures, and learn about their training, routines, and life throughout the year.

The kennel also features a special free-run area where selected dogs roam and interact freely with guests. Here, you’re welcome to pet and cuddle the huskies and capture relaxed, natural photos - a perfect moment of connection.

To finish, step into a traditional Lappish hut (kota) with an open fire, where you’ll enjoy hot berry juice and cookies in a cozy, atmospheric setting. It’s a time to relax, warm up, and chat with your hosts about husky life in the Arctic.

This kennel is dedicated to ethical dog care and well-being. The huskies live in spacious enclosures, receive daily attention, and enjoy regular rest days. Their training is based on trust, motivation, and positive reinforcement reflected in the joy and enthusiasm they show on every run, even without snow.
