Short Tours

Experience the true Arctic nature with new eyes and feel being part of it!

Here at Alba Racing Kennel a very special attraction awaits you: an unforgettable safari on dog sled.

The trees on either side fly past as your very own team of eager huskies pull you quietly through forests and across lakes of the frozen wilderness. All thoughts of modern day living will be driven away by your new four legged friends of the north!

Program

On arrival at Alba Racing Kennel, you will be greeted by owner who will explain about the life and training of the huskies. You will then be introduced to your teams and shown how to put on a harness and you can even help hitch up the dogs to the sled! You will be given a sled driving lesson, and then it’s off into the wilderness! Each person will drive their own sled with 4 dogs unless they wish only to sit in the sled and enjoy the scenery. On return, snacks, coffee and juice will be served in front of log fire in the traditional Finnish kota.
