Summary:
Absolutely amazing experience. A fairly long ride in a van at full capacity felt a little tight but doable. Once at the destination we could stretch out and then enjoy the ride. Having total control of the beautiful huskies felt safe with experienced guides close by. The company do supply all weather attire which is definitely needed. Definitely worth the experience.

Summary:
We did an amazing husky tour with Parpalandia. It was spectacular from start to finish. While nearly all other tour operators had already closed due to lack of snow (April), Parpalandia was still offering tours. We were picked up from our hotel in Santa Claus Village. While there was hardly any snow in the Santa Claus Village, there was surprisingly good snow at Parpalandia. We received warm clothes and an introduction on how to drive the sled. We were 2 people per sleigh. We could drive the sled ourselves which was a lot of fun. A person on a snow mobile was leading the way. It was a great sleigh ride through varied landscape, mostly light forest. We also did photo stop halfway through and drivers could switch. Back at Parpalandia we had sausages from an open fire grill and a hot drink and cookie. Overall, it was an experience of a lifetime. The staff at Parpalandia was super nice. The huskies were terrific, the nature fabulous, and the sled ride just fantastic. 🐕 🛷. We had great conversations and learned so much, not only about huskies, but also about Finland and its people.
Parpalandia also have a beautiful lodge for overnight stays and the whole surroundings are very picturesque. We can whole-heartedly recommend this experience.
