You can reach us best by car but it is possible to use the local bus service from and back to Rovaniemi to get here. Please take the bus from platform 3. The 60 km journey takes approx. 45-60 mins and picks up passengers along the way. There is only a limited service so please check their timetables before booking. Please search for buses online at matkahuolto.fi departing from Rovaniemi to Tiainen or Luosto, then when you are on the bus, ask the driver to drop you off at Korvala. Timetables can be found here.
- Weather conditions
The temperature limit for our products is -30°C. In colder temperatures, we do not consider it safe to do the activity, especially in the case of participating children. Wind chill from velocity also needs to be considered: e.g. -30°C with wind chill along the fastest part of the route is equivalent to approx -44°C, which means there is a high risk of frostbite within a couple of minutes of exposure. Participants must wear suitable winter clothing, including woollen layers, winter hats, scarves/buffs and mittens, with woollen gloves inside the mittens. We offer optional additional winter overalls and boots for participants to use. Our overalls provide an extra layer of protection but are not warm enough by themselves. This activity is not suitable for children under two years of age.
When temperatures drop below -30°C, the cold also affects the welfare of the dogs, so this will always be taken into consideration if this happens during an activity, and may result in a change of route.
However, it can also be too warm sometimes, so when temperatures go too far above 0°C, there is an increased risk of injury due to soft trails. In this case, we will try to reschedule the departure time so that we can take advantage of cooler temperatures.
- Restrictions
The weight limit for our sleds is 200kg – this means the combined weight of the driver and the passenger(s), where no one individual weighs more than 120kg.
- Terms and Conditions of Service
Please read these terms and conditions carefully before continuing with your order. Your order of our product, activity or service constitutes acceptance of these terms and conditions.
