Drive your silent electric snowmobile on frozen lakes and through wintry forests towards Bearhill Husky farm just outside Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland. Learn how to steer your own team of huskies during a short dog sledding safari.
The silent electric snowmobiles, eSleds, offer an environmentally sustainable way to enjoy the clean and fresh Arctic nature on an exciting safari. The eSled is very easy to drive for beginners due to its special electric drive. You ride your eSled on frozen lakes and through the forest to Bearhill Husky farm, where you get to meet the joyful dogs, enjoy a guided tour of the kennels and try your skills at mushing in a 45-minute husky sled ride.
A driving license is not required since you will travel on private routes and properties, but there must be at least one person over 18 years old on the shared eSled. The total distance driving with the eSled is approx. 20-30 km.
Two persons will share a sled. It is possible to drive your own sled for an additional cost. Please let us know during the booking process of you are interested in driving your own sled.
