Powerun Adventures

  Husky dog sledding - booked through hotel who offered warmer clothing if we wanted it which we did not but did borrow warmer boots. We were collected by car from... read more the hotel. We were lucky as it was just the two of us. 4km route out into the surrounding area and across two lakes. Very fast but owner kept a good eye on us. Afterwards we saw the other dogs and went for hot berry juice around the fire in the cabin. The dogs were extremely well looked after and it was great to chat to the owners. What a great experience.

  It was too cold for the dogs in the morning (-37 C) so we were postponed (great concern for the welfare of the dogs) until the afternoon. After a quick... read more briefing and safety talk we were kitted up and a group of 3 sleds sped off across the snow. Amazing scenery and varied terrain enabled you to get a good feel for how a longer sled would feel (we took the 2 hour tour). You could help take the dogs off the harnesses which is more difficult when your dog is young and still learning and you have 3 pairs of gloves on...
Followed off with warm pastries and drinks by the fire this is HIGHLY recommended. Can't wait to come back!

  This was our 2nd time to Powerun. From arriving until the moment we left the whole experience was truly fantastic. We were greeted by Riku who took us to the... read more huskies. We went on a magical 10km ride through breathtaking scenery. Riku then showed us round introducing the dogs and puppies and showing us the kennels and how the dogs are cared for. We sat in a hut with log fire, hot berry juice, gingerbread and pastries and hearing the incredible stories of the races Riku has competed in. All of the dogs are so well looked after that is clear to see. The whole experience was incredible and personal as we were the only group of 7 there. Can’t recommend Powerun enough. We will definitely be returning on our next trip to Lapland.
