So what’s the best time for husky rides?
We’re admittedly biased, but we love husky rides in every season! One of Lapland’s incredible features is its diversity of seasons, each offering distinct advantages for husky tours. In brief, during autumn and early winter, there are fewer available start times, but there are also fewer people competing for those spots. Winter is the peak season for husky rides in Lapland, but with our snow cannons and stored snow at Apukka Resort, you can enjoy snowy trails even before December. The husky rides differ significantly during autumn compared to the early winter and winter seasons, not only in terms of the vehicles used but also in the landscapes you get to explore.
