Sport with Huskies
Multi-day retreats
All levels welcome
Small groups
Year-round
A harness clipped to your waist, not a sled at your back. Two small-group programs built around one thing: moving alongside a husky as a real partner, not a passenger.
Our huskies, part of everything we do
Our huskies, part of everything we do
Our lives are closely woven with our huskies. They’re part of everything we do — reminding us daily to move with curiosity, to rest when we need to, and to enjoy the simple moments. They’re more than a team; they’re teachers of joy and patience, showing us what it really means to move with nature.
That’s the idea behind every husky program we run: not a ride to watch from behind, but time spent working with a dog — matched to you, harnessed to you, moving at a shared pace.
What it's actually like
Forget the sled. Every husky program we offer is built around a waist harness and your own two feet (or skis) — you and your husky cover the ground together, step for step. It’s quieter than people expect, and more physical: you feel the dog’s pace change, learn to read them, and end the day having actually done something with an animal, not just photographed one.
We offer two ways in: a single day walking or snowshoeing a trail with a husky matched to you for the afternoon, or a multi-day retreat building real ski-and-pulk skills with a dog over several days, ending in a guided overnight camp in the snow. Both are guided personally by us, year-round residents of Äkäslompolo, on trails we know properly in every season.
Who's guiding you
Susi has spent over two decades in Lapland working as a veterinary technician, training and caring for huskies. Between us, the dogs aren’t a business add-on — they’re family, and it shows in how we run every program.
Why it feels different
Everyone is welcome
No experience needed
You don't need experience with dogs, hiking, or skiing — only openness. Most guests have never worked with a husky before.
A real partner, not a passenger
Each husky is matched to you personally — you feel their pace, read their cues, and actually do something together.
Guided year-round, by us
Ciara and Susi live in Äkäslompolo all year and guide every trip personally, on trails they know in every season.
