Lapland Handbook Staff How we research this

The short answer

Budget from the kennel's own prices and confirm them when you book, because the tourist office's programme prints lower ones. A family of two adults and two children pays 540 euros for the ten-kilometre ride, and 800 for the park ride if both children are eight or older. The longer rides cost more but less per kilometre. The transfer to the farm is extra.

How the operators compare

Prices are the operators' own published starting prices as of the date this guide was updated, and they change through the season.

10 km loop20 km in Riisitunturi30 km wilderness day
Adult, sharing a sled €175 – the lowest adult price €255 €325
Child €95 (4–12) €145 (8–12) €185 (8–12)
Sled to yourself Not stated €345 €415
2 adults + 2 children €540 €800 €1,020
Per kilometre, adult €17.50 €12.75 About €10.80 – the least per kilometre

Highlighted figures are the best in that row: the lowest adult price and the least per kilometre. All prices per person from the kennel's own page. Family totals are two adults sharing one sled and two children at the child fare; the transfer to the farm is extra and unpriced.

Where these figures come from
  • 10 km loop: About two hours, you drive with a swap halfway, a hot drink in a kota; children from four.
  • 20 km in Riisitunturi: About three and a half hours into the national park, lunch afterwards; everyone eight or older.
  • 30 km wilderness day: About six hours, lunch by the fire and boiled-pot coffee; everyone eight or older.

The Posio kennel prints every price per person, with a child fare and, on the longer rides, a price for driving alone.1

What the price covers

The dogs, the guide, instruction and a stop by the fire, with lunch on the two longer rides. It does not cover the drive to the farm: the kennel can arrange a transfer for an extra charge that its page does not quote.

Why the long rides look cheaper

The ten-kilometre loop is the cheapest ticket and the dearest per kilometre. Double the distance and the adult price rises by 80 euros, not by 175; the thirty-kilometre day works out at under eleven euros a kilometre.

A second price list

The Posio tourist office’s weekly programme lists the same three rides at lower prices.2 The totals above use the kennel’s own figures, since that is where you pay.

Questions people ask

What if we cancel?

The kennel refunds the whole price if you cancel at least 48 hours before the ride, which it describes as very flexible terms. Inside 48 hours its page gives no refund rule, so treat the money as spent. That window is longer than the 24 hours common on the booking platforms, so make the decision at least two days ahead.

Which price list is right?

This site uses the kennel's own safari page, read on 23 September 2026, because that is where the booking is made. The Posio tourist office's weekly programme shows the same rides for less, for example 145 euros for the ten-kilometre ride against 175. It may be an older list; ask the kennel which applies to your date before paying.

Is the Ranua ride cheaper?

Per head it is a little dearer: 200 euros for two hours seated in Ranua against 175 for the ten-kilometre drive in Posio. But the two are different rides, since a musher drives in Ranua and you drive in Posio, and Ranua is an hour away each way, so the fuel and the time on the road belong in the comparison too.

Lapland Handbook is written by its editorial staff in Rovaniemi.

Each guide names who should not book, and names the operator that suits each kind of group, whichever it is.
