Drive your own husky sled team across snowy landscapes on this unforgettable experience in Northern Norway.

Highlights

Enjoy an exhilarating ride on a sled pulled by huskies led by skilled mushers.

Admire winter landscapes, including forests, fjords, and snow-covered mountains.

Warm up by the fire with a hot drink and homemade cake in a traditional Gamme hut.

How it works

Your dog sledding adventure begins at Tromsø harbor, where you’ll board a scenic 50-minute bus transfer to our camp in Breivikeidet, set in a beautiful valley near the sea. Upon arrival, friendly staff will provide a safety briefing and show you how to handle your sled.

Then it’s your turn to drive. You’ll take control of your own team of huskies for approximately 0.6 miles (1 km), with a guide stop along the way for photos. You’ll then switch places with your partner for the return leg.

Back at camp, you’ll have time to bond with the huskies and enjoy their company. Afterward, you’ll warm up inside a cozy lodge with hot drinks and cake while learning more about the dogs and their training.

Finally, you’ll return to Tromsø with unforgettable memories and plenty of photos from your Arctic adventure.
