1 – Husky Sledding

Mums, Dads and Grandparents all get a go at driving the husky sled, after meeting the huskies. Children get to sit back and enjoy the ride onboard the sled as it whooshes along the snow. With the husky’s full of excitement, they just want to run and have fun. 

2 – Sleigh Rides

Meet some of Rudolph’s reindeer friends and enjoy silently swishing through the trees of Saariselkä forest on your reindeer sleigh ride.

4 – Mini Skidoo
