Hotel services continue to innovate — beyond focusing on hardware facilities, room accommodations, and dining quality, even airport transfers are getting a creative makeover. Now, a hotel operator in Norway, “Kirkenes Snowhotel,” has launched the world’s first novelty “husky taxi” airport transfer service. Eight huskies pull a sled, allowing guests to be “chauffeured” directly from the airport to the hotel, while enjoying the winter scenery of Norway along the way — truly unique.

The husky taxi service offered by Kirkenes Snowhotel provides cold-weather gear before guests “board” at Kirkenes Airport, followed by a 45-minute ride where you can enjoy Norway’s snowy white landscape to the rhythm of the huskies’ running, and even interact with the adorable dogs. However, this super cute taxi transfer service doesn’t come cheap — a one-way trip costs $372, equivalent to NT$11,400.
