Enjoy an exhilarating self-drive ride on a sled pulled by huskies led by skilled mushers.
Admire winter landscapes, including forests, fjords, and snow-covered mountains.
Keep an eye out for the appearance of the magical Northern Lights.
Enjoy a hot drink and homemade cake served in a traditional Sámi gamme.
Our dog-sledding adventure begins in Tromsø Harbor, where you’ll board a bus for a scenic 50-minute drive to our camp in Breivikeidet, located in a picturesque valley near the sea. Upon arrival, friendly staff will welcome you, explain the safety procedures, and show you how to handle the sled.
Then it’s your turn. You’ll take the reins and drive your own team of huskies for approximately 0.6 miles (1 km), with a stop along the route for photos before switching places with your fellow passenger for the return journey.
Back at camp, you’ll have time to bond with your husky team and enjoy plenty of tail wags and cuddles. Afterward, join our knowledgeable guides indoors for hot drinks, cake, and fascinating insights into the lives of these remarkable dogs.
Once you’ve said your final goodbyes to the huskies, you’ll return to Tromsø with unforgettable memories and spectacular photos to take home.
