【Traveling in Finland 公主背包客。芬兰极圈篇】Tundra Huskies Husky safari。Levi市哈士奇狗雪撬初体验

I had a good sleep at Levitunturi Spa Hotel in Levi last night. I did the proposal in Levi tourist office after I had my breakfast. They arranged a husky safari for me in the morning. The Levi information center is very close to the Levitunturi Spa Hotel.

There were 2 ice sculptures in front of the Levi information center. You can image how cold it was.

It was another Polar Bear ice sculpture.

The cars and the trees were covered by the snow.

One thing on my wish list was taking the husky safari. I had only seen the husky safari in the movies. I thought it was incredible if I could do it. This day I was going to make my dream come true . The bus came to the Levi tourist office to pick us up.

I was the only Asian girl in this group.

It was a really big challenge to me in Levi as it was so cold last night at -25 degree. But it was colder at -32 degree in the morning.

The boss of the Tundra Huskies. He has 27 years experience training the huskies.

We arrived at Tundra Huskies Husky farm entrance.

Everyone wore so many clothes and covered their faces very well, because it was so chilly.

We were so excited to start our husky safari tour.

The boss was talking about how we would pass one section that would be at -45 degree when we do the husky safari 10 km.

Everyone needed to be careful and stay at a safe distance of about 10 meters.

The boss showed the right pose to ride the sledge.

Everyone needed to notice the speed. Just go slow. It is very important to know how to stop the sledge on the husky safari.

You need to step on the brake if you want to stop the sledge or to reduce your speed.

There were 8 huskies. They were so excited to run the husky safari. They could't wait to go.

It was my first time to take the husky safari. My baby & I enjoyed the Finland beautiful snow scenry and the speed. You can see the blanket was covered by the frost already.

Ha..It was me. I needed to covered my face very well.

You can see other people on the husky safaris. It just like the movie scenes.

They have only Arctic pure breed Siberian Husky in their Husky farm.

They looked a little like the wolfs as well.

Thanks to the boss for taking this photo of me sitting in the sledge.

Every moment I was like in the movie scenes.

All the huskies just turned their heads.

They followed the order. They all were well-trained.

Cute huskies.

My baby and me had the photo with the husky.

The husky was so friendly.

Handsome husky.

We had a hot drink and the sausage in the cottage after the husky safari.

I thought the people who drove the sledge must had felt chiller than me.

I used the open fire to cook my sausage .

I wore the snow clothes and had the sausage mouth. ha ha

We visited their reindeers.

They gave you some food to feed the reindeers.

Huskies are a very active, energetic, and resilient breed whose ancestors came from the extremely cold and harsh environment of the Siberian Arctic. Siberian Huskies were bred by the Chukchi of Northeastern Asia to pull heavy loads long distances through difficult conditions. The Siberian Husky, Samoyed , and Alaskan Malamute are all breeds directly descended from the original sled dog.(The information from wiki)

-----------------------------------------

Una在拉维市(Levi)的第一晚在Levitunturi Spa Hotel有相当好的睡眠品质，这天一早Una吃完早餐后，就先到Levi市的观光单位做了简报，做完简报就是参加Levi市替Una安排的哈士奇雪撬活动，门口已经有同团的人在等待了。后来才发现原来Levi的观光单位就在Una住得下榻饭店对面而已，过个马路就到非常方便，怪不得会帮Una安排这间下榻饭店。

Levi的游客中心就位于Levi市观光单位的一楼，门口还有两座货真价实的北极熊冰雕，就可以知道这里有多冷了。Una当然也要跟可爱的北极熊冰雕来合照一张。

游客中心门口的另一只北极熊站姿冰雕。

可以看到当天的天气有多冷，车子和树都被雪给覆盖了。

Una到芬兰前想实现的愿望清单之一，当然包括搭乘哈士奇狗雪撬。以前只能在电影里看到，总觉得是件很梦幻又遥远的事情。两天前住极光屋时，经理当时也是帮Una安排了哈士奇狗雪撬的活动，后来得知Una刚怀孕，为了肚中的宝宝安全著想就帮Una取消。后来参加活动回来的人跟Una说，其实搭乘哈士奇狗雪撬没有想像中的快和颠簸，还满安全的，所以这次拉维市替Una安排的哈士奇雪撬，Una当然就没打算取消了。

参加哈士奇雪撬团，哈士奇雪撬车会开小巴到游客中心门口来接送。

哈士奇场的主人帮Una安排坐在驾驶座旁，其他人又是成双成对或朋友的参加，Una是此团中唯一的亚洲人。

来Levi根本就在挑战低温，昨晚-25度已经够冷了，这天早上竟然又下降了-7度，到了-32度。

哈士奇雪撬公司的老板兼教练，他养哈士奇狗已经有26年的经验，他边开车边跟全车的人解说。

没多久就开到哈士奇狗庄园外。

大家都包得密不通风，因为真的太冷了。

好兴奋准备进入哈士奇庄园了。

庄园老板在跟团员们解说，并说到今天天气骤降，如果跑10km的话，有一段路程会到零下45度。问大家的意愿是要5km还是10km的路程，大家当然都还是想要10km，毕竟都难得来啦!

哈士奇雪撬车也有安全距离，要保持10公尺。

这里老板示范正确驾驶哈士奇雪撬的姿势，1.双手紧握手把，驾驶中不能单手放开，像是为了拍照、打招呼等。2.双脚踏在雪撬两边的木条上。

驾驶哈士奇雪撬也要注意速度放慢，因为哈士奇狗拉雪撬会太兴奋跑太快，有可能追撞到前面的雪撬。尤其是转弯的时候，速度没有放慢也会摔出去的，所以学会怎么刹车很重要。

可以看到雪撬后方中央有个马鞍型的铁片，用力踩下去就能刹车和轻轻踩则是减慢速度，在转弯的时候特别需要。接著就准备出发啦。

雪撬共有8只哈士奇在拉，牠们非常的活泼好动，对于要拉雪撬都兴奋得跳起来。一开始庄园主人踩住煞车，还没出发时，所有的哈士奇狗还不耐烦的往后看，想说怎么还不出发，让我见识到甚么叫快脱缰的哈士奇狗。还有哈士奇跑一跑会突然吵架，真是太有趣了。

呼，生平第一次坐在哈士奇雪撬上，Una跟肚中的宝宝一起享受芬兰北极圈的雪景，真是太梦幻啦!驾驶雪撬的是庄园老板，所以他才有办法技术好到边驾驶边帮Una拍照。可以看到当天的天气有多冷，才坐雪撬没多久，盖在Una身上的毛毯已经开始结霜了。

这是Una的自拍照，整张脸都被包的整个密不通风，零下30度以下真的太冷了，这趟芬兰北极圈行，真的是在考验Una到底能忍耐住多寒冷的天气。冷风吹来，都觉得脸冷到刺痛，鼻子吸进去的空气都是冰的。

可以看到广大的雪原上，其他团员驾驶哈士奇雪撬的身影。

这家的哈士奇狗庄园的哈士奇，都是北极圈的纯种西伯利亚哈士奇狗。

西伯利亚的纯种哈士奇，其实满像狼的，只差不会啊呜。

感谢庄园主人帮Una拍照，当下Una真的快冻僵了。Una当时最承受不了的就是脚，感觉脚都快冻僵了，已经寒冷穿透了鞋子，脚已经冷到会痛。当时穿了两层袜子又穿靴子，又盖毛毯还是不够保暖啊!

眼前的雪景，好美好梦幻，真的有如置身电影场景啊!

刚好所有的哈士奇都转头。

主人一叫就全部回头，非常训练有素的哈士奇狗狗。

可爱的哈士奇狗狗。

Una还有极光宝宝跟哈士奇狗狗的合照，当时为了桥帽子有点好笑。

跟哈士奇的自拍，牠还主动凑过来。

自拍第二张，这张牠好帅气。

哈士奇雪撬结束后，就可以到他们的小木屋里，可以围著热热的火炉取暖，还有热饮和德国香肠。

今天的天气真的冷极了，我想驾驶哈士奇雪撬的人肯定更冷，没毛毯可以盖，不过老外对于这种零下温度应该很习惯。

大家就是这样烤德国香肠的，烤得外皮有点脆脆的真好吃。

Una穿的就是庄园的防寒衣装备，附上正港的香肠嘴照片给大家。

结束小木屋点心时间后，就参观他们的驯鹿场。

还可以喂食驯鹿，庄园会提供饲料让旅客喂食。

Una满强力推荐这间Tundra Huskies的哈士奇雪撬活动，他们家在Levi的活动在Tripadvisor网站是排名第一名，有兴趣的朋友可以上去看评价。哈士奇庄园主人有26年饲养和训练哈士奇狗的经验，所以非常专业。这里的哈士奇狗都是纯种的西伯利亚哈士奇，哈士奇狗都训练有素，也被照顾得很好。因为哈士奇是庄园的重要资产，很重视牠们的健康和饮食，这些哈士奇狗都是很爱拉雪撬运动的。哈士奇狗都有工作年限，工作几年就会退休。庄园主人非常注意旅客和狗的安全，跑的路线雪景很美很梦幻。其实你只要观察狗的健康状况和对于拉雪撬的兴奋反应，就可以知道牠们被照顾得很好。

这里要介绍一下哈士奇狗又叫雪撬犬，是原产于西伯利亚东部的工作犬，能在北极严寒环境中生存的能力，牠们最早被居民饲养的功能用于拉重物长途跋涉。西伯利亚雪撬犬的性情温顺，因为是工作犬，所以牠们的精力充沛，喜欢探索和运动。牠们有强烈的奔跑本能，所以不让牠们拖雪撬跑，牠们还会不爽。像哈士奇狗的长征比赛都是几天几夜的，拉雪撬对牠们来说只能算是小小的暖身。哈士奇狗需要很大的运动量，不然只是喂食又没让牠运动，牠就会过胖。记住哈士奇狗虽然很可爱，但牠们身上的长毛就是为了保护牠们在极圈这样严寒的天气下存活，而且需要在空旷的地方奔跑，让牠大量的运动，所以非常不适合像台湾这样的亚热带国家居住。这种天生就习惯在零下二、三十度生活的狗狗，爱牠就该让牠留在适合的国家长大。

这次Una参加的哈士奇雪撬10km，如果是两人用一台雪撬(一人驾驶、一人乘坐)，每人99 € ，只有一个人参加的费用是125 €。请上Levi的观光网站订购此行程，或直接上官网订购。费用包括从Levi的游客中心来回接送、英文向导、在炉火享受热饮和香肠、税。当时他们有提供防寒衣给大家，但是网站没提到，订行程前可以再确认一下。

谢谢Levi市招待Una这次的~~Tundra Huskies~~士奇雪撬10km行程，让Una又实现了梦想清单之一。很幸运第一次的哈士奇雪撬经验，就遇上这个零下45度的低温，真的让Una和肚中的极光宝宝永生难忘了。Una当时是从炎热的澳洲夏天飞到寒冷的芬兰北极圈，这个温差至少70度，ˊ人生第一次经历这么大的温差!感谢庄园主人的专业，让我跟极光宝宝坐在雪撬里都很安全，路也不会太颠簸。
