At Pallas Husky, sustainability is a central part of our work. Our guiding principle is to offer our guests authentic and unforgettable husky experiences amidst the pristine and breathtaking nature of the Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, always in alignment with ecological, social, and cultural values. By focusing on weekly multi-day tours, we reduce environmental impact through fewer arrivals and departures and consciously promote slow tourism.

All our tours are led by professional, licensed wilderness guides. A key component of their training is sustainable tourism and safety management, ensuring that every tour is carefully planned and responsibly conducted in harmony with nature, animal welfare, and the strict regulations of the National Park.

 

Animal Welfare at the Core

The welfare of our dogs is our top priority. They live in spacious, chain-free, and species-appropriate kennels with plenty of room to run and play daily. Targeted warm-up and cool-down routines are followed before and after each tour to ensure their physical health. Social training and the opportunity to run freely in groups reduce stress and support natural behavior. Each dog’s health is carefully documented, including vaccinations, deworming, and regular veterinary care.

During the high season, our professional team of dog trainers also cares for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs in training, ensuring consistently high wellbeing throughout the year. We greatly value the opportunity to share our work and philosophy with our guests.
