Experience the beauty of Lapland’s summer nature in a truly unique way – together with our friendly huskies! This memorable outdoor adventure takes you on a peaceful walk through the stunning landscapes of Vikaköngäs, accompanied by our energetic and affectionate dogs.
During the tour, we walk along beautiful forest trails surrounded by pure Arctic nature. You will breathe some of the cleanest air in the world while enjoying the calm atmosphere of the Lappish wilderness. One husky is shared between two participants, as these active dogs love to move and will happily lead the way along the trail.
Along the walk, our guide will share stories about huskies, their daily life, and what it is like to work with these incredible Arctic dogs. We will also stop at a scenic viewpoint where you can admire the beautiful landscapes of Vikaköngäs and take memorable photos.
A highlight of the tour is a relaxing break by an open campfire. Here you will enjoy traditional Finnish outdoor snacks – sausages grilled over the fire and a warm drink – while surrounded by the peaceful summer forest. It’s the perfect moment to relax, take in the scenery, and enjoy an authentic Lapland experience.

Frequently asked about snowmobile safaris
What is nature like in Finnish summer?
Finnish summer in Lapland is unique and full of contrasts. Because of the northern location, nature is very pure and untouched, with vast forests, lakes, and open landscapes. You can also experience the midnight sun period, when the sun does not set at all in midsummer, creating long bright days and a very special atmosphere.
What is the weather like in summer?
Summer weather in Lapland can vary a lot—from warm sunshine to occasional rain showers. We recommend preparing for changing conditions and also protecting yourself from the sun, for example with sunscreen and a hat.
Are there mosquitoes in summer?
Yes, in natural areas there can be mosquitoes, especially in forested or lake regions. We recommend bringing mosquito repellent to make your experience more comfortable.
What should I wear on a summer tour?
Please dress according to the weather. We do not provide clothing for summer activities, so we recommend comfortable outdoor clothing, good walking shoes, and layers in case the temperature changes during the day.
What if I have food allergies or dietary restrictions?
If your tour includes lunch, snacks, or refreshments, please let us know about any food allergies or dietary restrictions when making your booking. We will do our best to accommodate your needs and provide suitable alternatives whenever possible. To ensure we can make the necessary arrangements, it is important that we receive this information in advance.
