Wonderlapland runs husky rides from Rovaniemi in two formats. On the 2–5 km ride a musher drives and four to five passengers share a sled. On the 6–10 km and 12–15 km rides you drive your own sled, and both end with a warm drink by the fire in a kota. The 12–15 km ride is the longest fixed distance among the tours on this site. The table puts the rides side by side with distance, time on the sled and who drives.

About this tour

A small-group ride of 12–15 km on snowy trails, about an hour of which you spend steering your own sled behind your dog team. The group is limited to nine people, and instructors guide you along the way.

Afterwards you warm up by the fire in a traditional kota or tipi with hot drinks and biscuits and hear more about the huskies and the kennel. Guiding is available in English, Spanish, French and Catalan.

Know before you go

  • Winter clothing is not included. You can request it in advance and rent it for a small fee.
  • The listing gives a meeting point in central Rovaniemi but does not mention a transfer or how far the kennel is.
  • How many people share a sled, whether drivers swap and from what age you may drive is not stated.
  • Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

The passenger ride over 2–5 km

On the shortest Wonderlapland ride you sit in the sled and a musher drives over 2–5 km. Four to five people ride together, so a couple may share with strangers. The listing offers a way around that: you can book the sled privately for your own group by paying for all four seats. It gives 1 hour for the whole activity but does not state the time on the sled, and it says nothing about clothing or a transfer. It suits a family of four or five that wants to ride together behind a musher; our page on husky rides with kids sets it next to the other family options.

The self-drive rides over 6–10 km and 12–15 km

Both self-drive rides follow the same pattern. The musher explains the technique first, you drive your own sled on forest trails, and afterwards you warm up in a kota with a fire, hot drinks and cookies while the guides tell you about the dogs and the kennel. Guiding is offered in English, French, Spanish and Catalan, and on the 6–10 km ride also in Persian.

The difference is the distance and how much of it the listing pins down. The 6–10 km ride takes 4 hours in total and does not state the time on the sled. The 12–15 km ride takes 5 hours, with about an hour on the sled, in a group of at most nine. Neither listing says how many people share a sled, whether drivers swap or from what age you may drive. If those points matter for your group, check them with the operator after booking, or compare the safaris that do state them on our long husky safari page.

◈
Winter clothing and the way to the kennel are your job.

On the 6–10 km ride the winter overall and snow boots are not in the base price; they cost extra and have to be requested in advance, like the photo package. On the 12–15 km ride winter clothing is not included either, and you can rent it for a small fee if you ask ahead. Both listings give a meeting point in Rovaniemi but mention no transfer and no distance to the kennel. Plan how you get there, and bring layers for the ride: our what to wear page lists them.

Who Wonderlapland’s rides suit

Good fit if…

  • You want to drive your own team for as long as possible: the 12–15 km ride states about an hour on the sled
  • You are a group of four or five and want a passenger sled to yourselves
  • You prefer a guide who speaks French, Spanish or Catalan

Not ideal if…

Wonderlapland beyond the huskies

Wonderlapland also runs reindeer tours at its farm, from a short farm ride to a 1.5 km sleigh ride and summer feeding visits. Those are compared on our sister site rovaniemi-reindeer.com.

FAQ

Can I drive the huskies myself with Wonderlapland?

Yes, on the 6–10 km and the 12–15 km rides you drive your own sled after instructions from the musher. On the 2–5 km ride a musher drives and you ride as a passenger.

Is winter clothing included?

Not on the self-drive rides. On the 6–10 km ride the overall and snow boots cost extra, and on the 12–15 km ride you can rent winter clothing for a small fee. Request it in advance in both cases. The listing for the 2–5 km passenger ride does not mention clothing.

How long am I on the sled?

On the 12–15 km ride about an hour, according to the listing. The 6–10 km and the 2–5 km rides do not state the time on the sled.

Is there a transfer from my hotel?

The listings for the self-drive rides give a meeting point in Rovaniemi and do not mention a transfer or how far the kennel is. The listing for the passenger ride does not state it either.

Can we have a passenger sled to ourselves?

Yes. Four to five passengers normally share a sled, but you can book it privately for your group by paying for all four seats.
