The name Beana Laponia translates as "Dog Lapland" and the huskies are very much a part of the family for Malla and the team at the hotel and their passion for their dogs is clear to see.
Beana Laponia have been organizing husky safaris in Lapland for over 25 years so you are certainly in the best hands … or paws! Their dogs take part to the sled dog races across Europe and head musher Aki Holck is one of the best long distance mushers in the country.The dog kennels are just a few minutes walk from the hotel and the safaris start close to the hotel entrance. Safari routes run along the frozen river, climb up to the top of fells and dive deep into arctic forests. The trails are exclusively for the hotels use, meaning you will not come across any others during your ride. You can safely concentrate only in the dogs and the beautiful Arctic nature.
