Levi: 2 KM Husky Summer Sledding with Wheels – An Authentic Lapland Adventure

When it comes to summer activities in Lapland, husky sledding might not be the first thing that pops into your head. Yet, this 2 km husky summer sledding experience offered by Levisafari & co Oy is a fantastic way to get a taste of the Arctic’s most iconic animal — the husky — in a way that’s both fun and accessible during the warmer months.

We love that this tour allows you to drive a husky sled yourself, giving an active, hands-on experience that’s perfect for dog lovers and adventure seekers alike. The small group setting guarantees plenty of individual attention, and the well-cared-for huskies clearly love what they do — an important factor for anyone concerned about animal welfare. Plus, the scenic backdrop of Lapland’s summer fields makes for some seriously stunning photos.

However, one thing to consider is that this activity is located about 15 km from central Levi, so some form of transportation might be needed unless you’re already staying nearby. The experience is best suited for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone eager to try something a little different in the Arctic summer.
