Zero Experience Required
The tours that you will find here are designed for the holiday-goer that desires experience – not the hands-on demands of mushing – so you simply sit back and enjoy.
Welcome to the Pack
Every year, thousands of travellers come to Rovaniemi chasing the same dream — to feel the rush of an Alaskan husky team running flat-out through a snow-covered forest, ears back, tails high, pure joy in every stride. At HuskyToursRovaniemi.com, we make that dream effortless. Our tours are operated by Bearhill Husky, a family-run kennel with over 20 years of experience and a reputation built on one simple thing: genuinely happy, genuinely loved dogs.
Here’s what makes us different: on every tour featured on this site, you ride. A professional musher does the driving, the steering and the hard work, so you can focus on what really matters — the dogs, the scenery, and the people you came with. Whether you’re travelling with toddlers, grandparents, or just yourself and a sense of wonder, there’s a seat in the sled with your name on it.
New to husky tours? You don’t need any experience, any special fitness, or any prior knowledge of mushing. You just need to show up warmly dressed and ready to be amazed.
