Ivalo - Saariselkä: Husky Walk in the Wilderness｜Finland

Husky Walk and Cuddles | 1h or 2h program

We start at Ilonka Farm by harneshing the dogs and connecting with them, and each participant gets one dog to walk with.

Attention, everyone who is reading this in French, please note: The Get Your Guide system has a translation issue, and it says in French that this would be a sledride. This experience is a guided walk or hike with a lovely harnessed husky.

If you prefer walking without a dog, that’s ok. You can enjoy the walk and cuddling that way, too. For safety reasons, children usually participate without a dog. It depends on the child / teenager, if he or she is ready to be attached to one of our beautiful dogs. If you have paid for a child participating without a dog, you can upgrade the experience at the farm if it looks like the child will manage walking with one of our huskies.

When we come back from the forest, we have some cuddling time if we didn't have enough in the forest. After that we enjoy a beverage and homemade delicacy in our cozy Lappish hut or in the picturesque yard.

You can choose between a one and two hour program. Please note that the whole program is 1-1,5 or 2-2,5 hours, the walk in the forest being ca 30 minutes (easy) or 60-75 minutes (medium level).

The Husky Walk is an all-year-round experience.

We have twenty+ huskies, some of which are rescue dogs from bigger farms. Some are young, some old, even a few puppies. Everyone enjoying their lives to the fullest - we love our dogs and they are a part of our family.
