Out with the huskies
You can get to know huskies in Ranua and Posio in different seasons: on a dog sled in winter or on foot with a dog by your side in the snow-free months. We recommend O’nordic and the small family business Trott Husky. Choose an experience that suits you and the kind of day you want to spend.
Choosing a tour
Ask about the time spent sledding, group size and itinerary. Smaller farms often allow more time to meet the dogs and watch or help with harnessing. Arrangements vary between providers.
Look at how the dogs are cared for
Observe how the dogs are handled. Ask about exercise, training and rest. A farm should answer these questions openly.
O’nordic: time for the dogs and the outdoors
At O’nordic in Posio, you can meet Maïlys, Mehdi and their Nordic dogs. Their journey began with adopting their first husky, Sultan; they founded O’nordic in 2022. Today they share their daily life and enthusiasm for the dogs with small groups of guests. Plan a trip to Posio for your visit.
Winter sledding and encounters without snow
- In winter: Meet the dogs before heading out with the team through the landscape around Lake Kitka. Depending on the tour you book, you can learn to drive a sled after an introduction.
- In autumn: Dog-cart rides are available before the snow arrives.
- In summer: Farm visits and guided walks with the dogs allow time for encounters and a glimpse of their lives.
O’nordic adapts its activities to the dogs’ needs. Discuss which outing suits your experience, your children and the season with the team. Agree the meeting point, itinerary and current prices directly with the provider.
Trott Husky: meet Emilie and Samuel in Ranua
We also recommend Trott Husky, the small family business that Emilie and Samuel run with their Siberian Huskies in Ranua. A visit is a chance to meet the dogs and the people who live with them all year round.
In winter and the snow-free months
- In winter: Settle into a dog sled while a musher guides the team.
- In summer and autumn: Join a guided husky walk, with a dog attached to your waist belt by a line, and explore the outdoors together.
- By dog cart: You can also ride with a dog team without snow, as a passenger in a wheeled cart.
Husky walks and dog-cart rides are currently offered from May to November. Emilie and Samuel can help you choose a suitable activity, including when you are visiting with children. Arrange the meeting point, participation requirements, dates and current prices directly with them.
