The long and dark Finnish winters allow many unusual activities, sleigh rides being at the top of the list. Pulled by either dogs or a deer, this experience in unmissable in Santa Claus' land. There are between 6 and 8 huskies per sled. The cleverest are placed in the front and the strongest at the back. It is very easy to direct them as human contact is their main motivation. The animals are trained from the beginning of the winter and rest from their long and tiring treks in summer.
