Optional: DOG SLED EXPERIENCE
Adult price: €275 Child (4–12): €145
Start time: 09:00 / 10:00 / 12:45
Total duration of the activity: 4.5 hours
Includes: transfers, English-speaking guide, hot drinks (tea/coffee), traditional Norwegian snack, thermal clothing, boots and gloves.
Join us for this authentic experience north of the Arctic Circle. We begin with a scenic one-hour bus journey from Tromsø. After meeting your enthusiastic team of huskies at the camp and being kitted out with warm clothing and boots, you’ll learn how to handle a sledge safely before heading out into the snowy landscape. You’ll drive in pairs, taking turns as driver and passenger, covering 3 to 4 kilometres in 30 to 40 minutes (depending on weather and snow conditions). Dog sledding is an authentic and thrilling way to connect with nature, powered by the energy of the Arctic’s most loyal animals. But this visit is much more than just a simple sleigh ride. You’ll also discover first-hand how the dogs are cared for throughout the year, including how activity is balanced with rest (with weekly stays at a secondary camp to relax), how proper nutrition is ensured, and how the physical and mental wellbeing of each dog is supported. Among the activities, you’ll enjoy a warm and cosy cabin where you can have a coffee and sample a traditional Norwegian snack. Here, we’ll share stories about life in the Arctic, from the extreme changes in weather and light throughout the seasons, to the rich traditions of Sami culture and the deep connection between people, animals and nature in the North. This is a journey to the heart of the Arctic: not just to see it, but to feel it
