IMG_1507-150x150During my journey to Finland one of the most important things i wanted to do, was to visit Husky park and to see the sleddogs in action and luckily one day i found out where exactly this park is. It is located about 10km from Rovaniemi city at the end of Christmas Town, which is very easy to find if you ask anyone local. Entrance costs 6 euros and they also offer husky rides, which are pretty expensive if i remember correctly it was 30 euros to go one lap ~1-2km and you have to stay on the sledges, you cant be the musher and longer ones costs around 100 euros, but you can be the musher on them. So visiting this park was really a great experience, people working in the park was really nice, calm and you can notice that they were very happy with their job and loved all the dogs. Husky park is quiet small, but still i have spent around two hours in it, just taking pictures, filming or petting the leaddog “Fika”. Also i talked with musher girl about huskies, their history and so on. After a few weeks when i realized that i will come back to Finland i wrote this park an email asking for job, but unfortunately they already had 3 trainees.

I spent two hours building up this movie from the Husky park, this was my first video montage, so dont be very judgemental.

And also photos from the park.

Hi there,

Looks like you have some intrepid planned out ahead of you.

Dog sledding is amazing – I went to a similar place near Ivalo. Great place. Even though i managed to lose every piece of electronic equiptment.
