About Us
Life in the woods with a pack of sled dogs
We are Jussi and Inka Holck, a local couple living in the remote woods with our family of dogs. The life with sled dogs for us is a full time life choice, a sport and a hobby, and we also offer responsible and meaningful husky tours in Rovaniemi. It is nice to meet you!

Our Tours
Explore our unique husky experiences for travellers that we offer in Rovaniemi in the autumn and winter season. These tours are more than just husky rides. They are an opportunity to learn about the world of huskies and our wholesome lifestyle with them and enjoy their happiness.
What makes our tours unique?
Private feel: Small group sizes & only one group joining at the same time
Purpose: The life with huskies is a lifestyle and a sport for us. We would have them even without the tourism work. Offering the tours gives us an opportunity to spend all of our time with the dogs.
Knowledge: The guests are able to have in depth information about sled dogs’ life, training and long distance competitions
Ethical: We have only 34 dogs who are all important members of our family and their wellbeing, happiness and safety comes always first
