Wander along an easy nature trail set in a landscape steeped in mythology and legend. Learn about our huskies — their daily routines, playful spirits, and the vital role they play on the farm. Meet our friendly sheep and discover traditional farming life in Lapland.
Throughout the trail, you’ll encounter signs telling tales from Finnish folklore, connecting you with nature and the ancient stories that shaped this land. Seasonal sensory tasks encourage you to stop, touch, smell, and listen—engaging all your senses in a truly immersive experience. Don’t forget to get to have your Shaman experience, playing Lappish drums and singing bowls, in the traditional Lappish hut! By engaging all your senses, you’ll uncover the quiet magic that makes this land so special.
Whether visiting in winter’s snowy silence or summer’s midnight sun, the farm radiates a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Stay as long as you like—typically 1–2 hours is ideal for a full experience.
Kids’ Husky Sledding Activity
For an even deeper connection, you can book extra adventures such as the Kids’ Husky Sledding activity.
We have Kids’ Husky Sledding slots available during these Farm Visits. You need to book a spot in this Husky Sledding activity (for ca 4-17-year-olds). Children get instructions on how to drive the sled with 1-2 dogs on the short tracks on the farm premises. The different sized sleds and short routes make it fun and safe. The retired huskies love the slower pace, but sometimes we get to take the younger ones for a run, too. Youngest children are assisted by their parents when needed. The additional Kids’ Husky Sledding activity is 36€ /slot/child and shall preferably be booked in advance. There is a limited number of spots in the sledding activity slots, so please make sure to book well in advance.
You can also book your additional Husky Walk into the wilderness. Please make a separate booking for this activity as well.

Andrea Dotto
“Such a magical experience. We did the walking with huskies in the snow covered forest. Our guide was really nice and welcoming. You can tell the dogs are living their best life at the farm. Thank you so much!”

“We did the aurora hunting husky walking tour and had an amazing time. We saw plenty of northern lights and got to have lots of cuddles with our own dog. Jiri was an awesome guide, and you could tell that he really loved all the dogs. The dogs seem to be very well looked after, which is very important to me when choosing a tour. Highly recommend Ilonka :)”
