Overview

Drive your own husky team through Lapland’s snowy wilderness on a small-group experience designed to feel personal and authentic.

Operated by The Original Aurora Hunters®, Arctic GM is a family-run company with roots in Lapland dating back to the 1600s, combining local knowledge with a strong focus on quality and guest experience.

After pickup, you’ll arrive at a secluded husky farm on private land, away from busy tourist locations. Meet the energetic huskies, learn how to handle the sled, and set off on a 5–8 km self-driven safari through forests and across frozen landscapes. Each sled is shared between two guests, with the option to switch drivers.

After the ride, spend time with the dogs and capture photos before relaxing by the fire with hot drinks and a traditional Lapland barbecue.
