If you are just passing through: 1st Choice — Tour of the Husky Farm (time needed, 40 mins); 2nd Choice — Tour of the Sami Cultural and Nature Centre (30 mins to 1 hour).
If you are staying overnight in Hetta, the 'don't miss' activities are: a visit to Hetta's award-winning husky farm; a visit to the nature centre; a short 0.7km hike from behind the nature centre to a panoramic viewpoint; and a Lappish joiku performance in the traditional farm kota.
Visit to Hetta's Award-Winning Husky Farm
It would be a shame to leave Hetta without visiting the highest award-winning husky farm in Scandinavia! The standard guided tour lasts 40 mins to 1 hour and is great fun for visitors and dogs alike. You can also request extras like hot drinks to go with a packed lunch on the farm. Occasionally people get so interested they stay for the evening feeding session.
The Nature Centre & Panoramic Hike
Most groups arrive in time to visit the Fell Lapland Nature and Cultural Centre — the Skierri — which attracts c.25,000 visitors annually and hosts one of the largest Sami exhibitions in Lapland. Summer days are long, so a small climb to the summit of Jyppyrävaara Hill is the perfect end to the day; local guides can introduce the local fauna and flora and tell stories of the hill's importance in pagan times. The panoramic views over the Pallas-Ylläs National Park give an unforgettable insight into the Arctic landscape. We often take a friendly husky or two along on these hikes.
