In the Gaze of the Wilderness
Eräkeskus Sled Dog Center
where dreams come true
In the heart of the quiet wilderness of North Karelia, we live with our sled dogs – as a family. And that is exactly how we welcome you: warmly, personally, and without any formalities.
Our dogs are friends and companions – each with their own story and unique character. For us, sustainable dog sledding means species-appropriate care, small guest groups, and genuine encounters.
In winter, you glide through snow-covered forests by sled. In summer, our dogs accompany you on hiking tours through untouched nature.
Experience a husky holiday in Finland – full of heart, nature, and a special connection between humans and dogs.
