During this ride, each adult will have the opportunity to drive their own sled (2 people per sled, taking turns as driver: while one person drives, the other sits in the sled). These dogs resemble wolves, with their pointed ears, piercing gaze, and pronounced snout. They can have one eye of each color. This is undoubtedly one of the best experiences to enjoy in Lapland.
