No, we do not provide clothing for our Santa’s Husky Rides. Please make sure to dress according to the weather conditions.
Our tips for this are very simple:
- Wear wool or artificial fibers on the skin, no cotton! Be especially careful of cotton socks as they will be cold, wet and spoil your experience
- Layer up, but not too tightly
- Wear tight thermals and on top of that wool or fleece clothes
- Thin finger gloves and wool socks are a worthwhile investment for any trip to Lapland, but remember no cotton
- A pair of winter trousers and jacket
- A hat, mittens and scarf
- Winter boots to keep your feet warm
