Short Husky Hikes around the Farm

Short Husky Hikes around the Farm

Fun add-ons to a basic farm tour: short walks with a dog of your choice on skijoring lines, from free-running with pups to a 2km ridge walk.

Short Husky Hikes around the farm are great add-ons to a basic farm tour. Make the day of a dog that has caught your eye and ask if there is time for this fun addition (or book the hike ahead). Oldies in particular benefit from the chance to get out year-round, but all dogs appreciate a break in their routine.

Any of these can be added at short notice to a standard farm visit if we have staff and dogs available. You simply pay the overall price of your chosen product, as the farm-tour price is already included. We will show you how to harness your dog and attach yourself by a skijoring line — our dogs are not trained to walk to heel on a lead!

Free-running with the Pups

For those lucky enough to be visiting when we have pups at the right age for free-running, it is always a lot of fun to end a farm tour with a free-running section with the pups.

Available: Whenever the pups are at the right age. Duration: c. 1 hour including farm tour. Price: Adult €35, Child €20, Family €110 (<5, inc. up to 2 adults).

Take the Oldies for a Walk

This 'oldies' walk suits people who have visited us a few times, are based locally for a while, and are happy to take the oldies out on their own. We sort out harnesses and skijoring lines and start you on the correct trails, then it is just you and the dogs. Don't expect a fast walk — the pace is set by the dogs.

Available: Year-round. Duration: c. 1.5 hours including farm tour. Price: Adult €20, Child €15, Family €40 (<5, inc. up to 2 adults).

GEE HAW Maze Training

Taking part in a GEE HAW maze training session or a puppy agility course trail adds c.30 mins to your standard farm tour program. In the GEE HAW product you can either take part in a free-running session with young pups or learn how we use skijoring lines to train our lead dogs to turn right or left.

Available: Summer only. Duration: 1 hour 15 mins including 40min farm tour. Price: Adults €35, Children €20, Families €110 (<5, inc. up to 2 adults).

2km Boundary Training Loop & Local Ridge Walk

Our farm boundary trail is generally accessible year round. It is the trail we first use in autumn training and we keep it open all winter so that the oldies can still get out and have some fun. Available year-round; Adults €35, Children €20, Families €110.

There is also a beautiful 2km 'ridge' walk that extends out from near the farm into the centre of the marsh, where you might spot an unexpecting herd of reindeer grazing in the distance. Berry picking and mushroom hunting are great fun on this path in autumn. Available year-round (snowshoes +€10pp in winter); Adults €45, Children €35, Families €150.

Long Walk Home / Morning Running Trail

To the north lies another highground trail which is actually part of the route the guides call their 'long walk home'. This is a very varied trail including a picturesque quad track, a forest ridge, some local routes and a fairly wet marsh section. Most clients choose to go out and back to avoid a wet marsh crossing on the longer circular route — which used to be Anna and Pasi's morning running trail.

Available: Year-round (snowshoes +€10pp in winter). Duration: c. 2 hours including farm tour. Price: Adults €60, Children €40, Families €200 (<5, inc. up to 2 adults).
