Meet Jussi & Inka — Mushers Who Live with Their Pack
The visit is led by professional mushers Jussi and Inka, a local couple who live with their Alaskan huskies and run a kennel that prioritizes the wellbeing of each dog. Expect first‑hand stories about training, daily life and preparation for long‑distance racing across Scandinavia.
A Short Husky Cart Ride Through Quiet Forest
Guests ride as passengers in a wheeled husky cart for a brief, few‑minute stretch driven by a professional musher, a chance to feel the tempo of the team even when there’s no snow on the ground.
Campfire Comforts and Canine Time
Before and after the cart ride there is time at a cozy husky camp to interact with the dogs, take photographs and warm up with hot drinks and cookies beside the fire.
