Three-day Taiga Tour

Three-day Taiga Tour

A full-on three-day mushing experience covering 90–120km, exploring further from base than the 2-day tour and forming a real bond with your dog team.

Please note that while we run 2-day and 5-day safaris each week through the season, the 3-day safari is only a standard part of our weekly program from April, so request departure dates from April unless making a group enquiry.

This three-day product is a full-on mushing experience, ideal for a short but adventurous break. Where the two-day program stays relatively close to our Arctic base, the extra night lets us explore further from home and encounter a wider variety of arctic landscapes. The journey is the same as in our 'taiga tour +' package (formerly our 5-day forests and fells package), but without the hotel nights and full board on either side.

  • Three full days of mushing over 90–120km
  • Explores further from base than the 2-day tour
  • Routes to the Sami village of Näkkälä or a remote Palojöki trappers cabin
  • First night at the farm kota, second in a wilderness cabin
  • Standard departures from the 3rd week of March until end of April
  • Solo Sleigh €1250, all meals and 2 nights' cabin accommodation included

Route options

We have a variety of 3-day route options and select the final journey based on weather, group size and cabin availability. Whichever we choose, the route is long enough to form real bonds with your dogs, and it will be hard to say goodbye at the end.

One option heads out to the Sami village of Näkkälä, either out-and-back or as a circular tour with spectacular last-day views. Another goes to a very remote trappers cabin on the banks of the Palojöki river, on the edge of the Tarvantovaara Wilderness Area — exactly the cosy, sheltered cabin people picture in the middle of the arctic wilderness, and often our choice in the coldest weeks. You need to be reasonably fit and comfortable outdoors for much of the day in cold winter conditions.

Client Feedback

"Best Experience of My Life! 3 day Circular Tour. My 3 friends and I went on the 3 day circular tour with Raya, Pasi and Kit. We helped with harnessing our teams, feeding them and putting them to bed for the night. The experience was unbelievable, sledding through the arctic circle with amazing dogs who love to work hard and also cuddle up to you at night. The food was surprisingly yum for camp food as well!!"

"I did the 3-days huskysafari with my friends and the experience was wonderful. Our guide showed from the beginning 'till the end that he really cared about us and the dogs. He took time to explain to us many things about the dogs, their characters, and how to mush."
