Rovaniemi: Santa Claus Village Husky Ride

Overview

Enjoy a 2.5km husky ride at the Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi. See well-cared-for huskies and learn about them from experienced mushers.

Just north of Rovaniemi, the Santa Claus Village sits right on the Arctic Circle and is open every day of the year. Meet Santa Claus in his office, cross the magical Arctic Circle line, send a postcard from Santa's Main Post Office, and let the kids join elf workshops. Guided tours add round-trip transfers and often bundle a husky ride, a reindeer sleigh and a certificate of your Arctic Circle crossing — making it the perfect family day out in Lapland.
