Mush Through Levi’s Silent Forest: A One‑Hour, 5 km Husky Safari
A Northern Lights Village Levi activity: a one‑hour husky sled experience (about 5 km / ~30 minutes riding) that includes thermal clothing and warm berry juice—this guide explains what to expect and how the outing runs.
Mush Through Levi’s Silent Forest: A One‑Hour, 5 km Husky Safari.
Sixteen ice‑blue and chestnut‑brown eyes shine with excitement as eight wolf‑gray huskies eagerly await the run. Driving a team of huskies through the white, shimmering landscapes of Lapland is an unforgettable, fast‑paced experience: the sled hisses over untouched snow while the lead dog looks back at the musher at a crossroads. The husky safari departs from in front of an Aurora hut and carries you through the forests of Levi on a roughly 5‑kilometre route over the course of a one‑hour programme.
