🐾 Feel the Magic of Lapland: Hiking Adventures with Huskies

The snow might have melted, but the adventures still continue at Husky Park! As the forests come alive with summer’s glow, our huskies are as excited as ever to explore—and they’re waiting to take you along for the hike.

During the summer, we’re inviting you to experience Lapland in a whole new way with our two summer hiking adventures: Hiking with Huskies and the magical Midnight Hiking with Huskies. Whether you’re a morning hiker or a night owl, we’ve got something special lined up for you.

🌳 Hiking with Huskies: A Daytime Adventure

Our daytime hike is perfect for anyone who loves the outdoors and wants to learn more about our incredible huskies.

Your adventure starts with a guided tour of Husky Park, where you’ll get to meet the dogs, hear about their daily life, and maybe even pick up a fun husky fact or two. You also get to join a fenced area where the current puppies get to run freely and you get to play with them! After that, it’s time to hit the trail—a gentle 5-kilometer walk through the beautiful Lapland wilderness, leading up to a viewpoint where the landscape stretches out in all its glory.

This experience lasts about three hours. We don’t recommend this activity to anyone under the age of 12. It’s an easy hike, priced at €120 per person and you’ll share one husky between two people. Just be sure to dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes—you’ll want to be comfortable so you can focus on the experience (and all the adorable husky moments!).

Note: If the weather is too hot, we may need to reschedule or cancel to keep our huskies safe!

🌌 Midnight Hiking with Huskies: Under the Arctic Sky

If you’ve never seen the Midnight Sun, prepare to be amazed. Our Midnight Hiking with Huskies lets you experience the unique beauty of Lapland’s summer nights—when the sun barely dips below the horizon and the forest glows with an otherworldly light.

You’ll set off on a gentle hike with your husky companion, soaking in the peacefulness of the night. At the halfway point, we’ll pause at a scenic viewpoint—perfect for photos and a moment of quiet reflection.

This two-hour hike is priced at €180 per person, with one husky per two guests. The same with daytime Hike: we recommend good shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. We also keep a close eye on the forecast to make sure our huskies are safe and happy.

🗓️ Book Your Summer Adventure

Our hiking experiences run from June 1st to July 31st (Midnight Hike) and August 1st to November 30th (Daytime Hike)—plenty of time to plan your perfect summer escape. While walk-ins are welcome, we do recommend booking ahead (especially for larger groups).

You’ll find us right in Santa Claus Village, just 8 kilometers from Rovaniemi city center. Whether you hop on bus number 8 or drive yourself, getting here is easy—and there’s plenty of parking.

Whether you prefer a daytime hike or the calm of a midnight walk., we’d love to share the magic of Lapland with you. Come meet our huskies, breathe in the fresh forest air, and make memories that will stay with you long after summer ends.

HUSKY PARK COLLABORATIONS SEASON 2024-2025

Posted on by huskypark

Welcome to Husky Park’s blog! At our Husky Park, we host many influencers with whom we collaborate. In this blog post, we will introduce the influencers from the 2024-2025 season who have created magical social media content and had unforgettable experiences with our husky friends.

LAURA KOROZSI

My name is Laura Körözsi, a 23-year-old Dutch content creator and owner of Travels.lau, where I share travel tips and experiences with my audience. I work as a security guard, and two years ago, I became a freelancer, collaborating with various companies to create engaging and visually appealing content

The influencer visited us at the end of January when the frost was severe! Despite the freezing temperatures, the visit went wonderfully. Laura met Soturi at the Husky Meet & Greet and instantly fell in love with him! Soturi was at his best, rolling onto his back at Laura’s feet to receive some belly rubs. Beautiful Lapland showed its magic despite the cold, and oh, how stunning the blue hues painted the sky in the middle of the husky ride! And guess what? Laura loved Soturi so much that she came back to see him again!

THE MERRIMANS

We’re The Merrimans, a two-dad family navigating the wonderful chaos of parenting twins! Savannah and Theodore, our adventurous 5-year-olds, keep us on our toes as we explore the world together. From everyday moments to big adventures, we love making memories as a family, embracing the joys and challenges of parenting with love, laughter, and a sense of adventure!

The Merrimans, this lovely family, visited us in November 2024. First, they go to Husky Meet & Greet, where they see our adorable Huskies like Ronaldo! And oh my gosh, November hit us badly and gave us a few days of rain and a few minus degrees. As a combination, we got a very slippery Meet & Greet, almost a skating rink! But The Merrimans made it! And no one had a broken ankle. After The Husky Meet & Greet, we go to Husky Ride. We don’t have enough snow in November to do Husky rides with sled, so we have summer carriages. So the Merrimans got to feel the speed with Huskies and wheels.

Exploring Lapland with Husky Park Finland: A Family Adventure on a Budget
Hello! I’m Daisy, aka Muddle Through Mummy, where I share our family’s adventures, travel tips, and ways to make memories without breaking the bank. Recently, we had the fantastic opportunity to collaborate with Husky Park Finland on our family trip to Lapland.

How the Collaboration Came About
I’m always very selective about the collaborations I take on, as I only want to share experiences that feel genuine and truly align with our family’s interests. When we were planning our trip to Lapland to visit Santa Claus Village—one of the region’s top attractions—I knew Husky Park Finland was an absolute must-see. So, I reached out to them directly to see if they’d be interested in working together. In exchange for the gifted husky ride experience, we agreed to share our experience as well as offer a special discount to my followers. It was a perfect fit because not only would we get to share something we were already planning on doing, but it also allowed me to offer value to my followers—helping them plan a magical, budget-friendly, trip to Lapland.

Our Husky Adventure in Lapland
The husky rides at Husky Park Finland were without a doubt the highlight of our trip. The kids were so excited to meet the huskies and experience the thrill of being pulled on a sled through the snowy Finnish landscape. The dogs were absolutely beautiful, and you could tell how well they were cared for. The ride itself was a perfect balance of excitement and serenity, gliding through the snow-covered forests and feeling like we were in a real-life winter fairy tale. What made the experience even more special was how interactive it was. We got to meet the huskies up close, learn about their training, and understand the important role they play in the park. It wasn’t just a ride—it was an educational adventure for the whole family.

Why This Collaboration Was So Meaningful
I love collaborations that feel authentic, and this one was definitely a natural fit. We were already planning to visit Santa Claus Village and Lapland, and Husky Park Finland was a key part of that experience. By reaching out to them, I was able to offer my followers, a chance to experience the same magic with a special discount—making this incredible family adventure more accessible for everyone. If you’re planning a family trip to Lapland, I can’t recommend Husky Park Finland enough. It’s the perfect activity for families, offering fun, adventure, and an opportunity to learn about these amazing animals in a beautiful setting.

WORLD WILDLIFE DAY 3.3

Posted on by huskypark

Welcome to Husky Park’s blog! On Sunday, March 3rd, World Wildlife Day is celebrated to honor the diversity of wild nature and biodiversity. Husky Park is also celebrating World Wildlife Day, so today we take a look at the natural surroundings our fur-riends calls home.

WE PROTECT WHAT WE LOVE

Every day, nature gives us so much—clean air, breathtaking landscapes, and a home for countless species. On World Wildlife Day, we take a moment to reflect on our responsibility to protect and preserve the environment around us. For us, nature is not just a place we visit; it is where we work and live, side by side with our dogs. Every step we take in the forests, fields, and mountains reminds us of the delicate balance we must maintain. It is our duty to ensure that our presence does not harm the land, the water, or the wildlife that call it home. By making small, conscious choices every day, we can contribute to a healthier planet. Whether it’s respecting nature during our daily walks, minimizing waste, or advocating for conservation, every effort counts. Together, we can protect the beauty and diversity of our world for future generations. How do you contribute to protecting nature in your daily life? Share your thoughts with us!

LITTER-FREE HIKING

In snow-free season we have Husky Hiking where our customers can take walk with Huskies. Sometimes we have hiked to some nature place where we have made a fire and fried a sausage. We prefer litter-free camping: Take away Everything You Brought along! We at Husky Park believe that the wonders of nature are fragile and precious. While enjoying the great outdoors, we encourage everyone to ensure that nature is preserved for future generations by taking the utmost care to minimize any negative impact.

  • Take only pictures, leave only footprints – We pack only what we need and avoid disposable products.
  • Pack it in, pack it out – Many campsites don’t have waste collection bins, so be prepared to carry out everything we bring in.
  • On the beaten path – Protect fragile plants and prevent erosion by staying on marked trails.
  • Content is King – When we sharing our outdoor adventures on social media, we respect the rules of protected areas.

RESPONSIBLE MAINTENANCE OF HUSKY TRAILS

At our Husky Park, we are committed to preserving the natural environment while offering unforgettable experiences with our dogs. One of the key ways we ensure this is through the responsible maintenance of our husky trails. We strive to use the same trails for as long as possible throughout the season. This minimizes our impact on the surrounding nature by preventing the creation of unnecessary new tracks. Every day, we carefully evaluate which trails are safe and suitable to use based on snow conditions, weather forecasts, and the overall condition of the terrain. This proactive approach allows us to enjoy the beauty of nature while protecting it for future generations. Sustainability and respect for the environment are at the heart of everything we do – for the love of our dogs and the nature they run through.

HOME IN THE MIDDLE OF NATURE

Husky Park is built around the beautiful nature of the Arctic Circle, where you can enjoy both: nature & the village. We are located in Santa Claus Village corner – where we have right near of us: forest & bog.

The nature around us is full of colorful plants, mosses, lichens, and fungi – small and large creatures crawl, slither, swim, buzz, fly, run, and climb everywhere. The more diverse the habitats, the greater the web of life, or biodiversity, around us. And the more biodiversity there is, the better we humans thrive as well, because we are part of this web of life. A healthy, wild nature provides countless benefits, such as clean air and water, food, recreation, and mental well-being. Our most important responsibility is to ensure that biodiversity flourishes. By doing so, we also take care of our own well-being and secure a sustainable future for the generations to come. We have installed insects hotels to support biodiversity in the area and to maintain insects populations. Small actions are an easy first step toward a greater change.

NATURE IN FINLAND

Finland is known for its breathtaking and pure nature, offering landscapes that seem straight out of a fairytale. The country is called “The Land of a Thousand Lakes”, but in reality, there are over 188,000 lakes — more than anywhere else in the world! These crystal-clear lakes are surrounded by endless forests, making Finland one of the most forested countries in Europe — about 75% of the land is covered by trees. One of the most unique things about Finnish nature is the Right to Roam (Jokaisenoikeus). This law allows everyone to freely roam in nature, pick berries and mushrooms, and even camp in the wilderness — as long as they respect the environment. It’s a dream come true for outdoor lovers! If you’re lucky, you might spot some of Finland’s iconic wildlife, like reindeer in Lapland, moose wandering in forests, or even the rare and shy Saimaa ringed seal, which can only be found in Lake Saimaa. Another unforgettable experience is the Midnight Sun in summer, where the sun doesn’t set at all in the northern parts of Finland for several weeks. On the flip side, during winter, you can witness the magical Northern Lights dancing across the sky. Finnish nature is all about peace, silence, and simplicity — a perfect place to recharge your soul.

Did you know that Finland’s national bird is the swan, our national animal is the bear, and our national flower is the lily of the valley?

Swans are beautiful birds that are known for their grace and elegance. They often stay with their mate, forming strong lifelong bonds. Their striking white feathers and serene movements make them a mesmerizing sight on the water. When two swans swim close together, their curved necks and the reflection on the water create the shape of a heart, symbolizing love and devotion. The bear is the king of the forest, a truly big and magnificent animal. In Finland, it is rare to encounter a bear, but if you did, would you know what to do? Lily of the valley is a woodland flowerind plant with sweetly scented, pendent, bell-shaped white flowers borne in sprays in spring. If you are going to Finland nature, you will find lily of the valley may to july in the forest.

LAPLAND NATURE

Lapland, the northernmost region of Finland, is a magical destination that offers unforgettable experiences all year round. Known for its breathtaking nature, unique culture, and peaceful atmosphere, Lapland attracts travelers seeking both adventure and relaxation. The beautiful and vast outdoors of Lapland are also largely part of the Sámi homeland which stretches more broadly as Sápmi across four countires: Finland, Norway, Sweden and Russia. Whether you’re chasing the Northern Lights, meeting Santa Claus, or exploring the vast wilderness, Lapland provides something special for everyone.

Rovaniemi, the official hometown of Santa Claus, is the perfect gateway to Lapland. Located right on the Arctic Circle, Rovaniemi combines modern city life with pure nature. It’s a place where you can experience the magic of winter, the midnight sun in summer, and authentic Lappish traditions.
