WELCOME to Tromsø, the home of the midnight sun and the northern lights. Upon landing, your transfer to the hotel in the city center awaits. The journey is approximately 5 km.
INCLUDED: PANORAMIC VIEWS OF THE ARCTIC: TROMSØ CABLE CAR AND MOUNT STORSTEINEN, WITH TRANSFERS
19:30. Meeting with the driver and guide in the hotel lobby to depart for the Tromsø cable car. On a short ride, we will arrive at the lower station of the Fjellheisen cable car, ready to ascend to the picturesque peak of Mount Storsteinen. You will enjoy stunning views as you reach the top in the blink of an eye.
Join us on the famous Tromsø cable car to enjoy incomparable views of the islands, fjords, and mountains of Tromsø. This is also the perfect place to see the famous Northern Lights.

The Fjellheisen cable car runs from Solliveien in Tromsdalen up to Mount Storsteinen. The lower station is located on the mainland part of Tromsø, 50 meters above sea level. The upper station, Fjellstua, is at 421 meters above sea level. The journey takes four minutes. Return to the hotel. Accommodation.

OPTIONAL MORNING SUGGESTED
OPT. 103 – HUSKY SAFARI AND ARCTIC TRADITION
Adult price: €275
Child (4–12 years): €90
Activity duration: 4 hours
Start time: 09:00 / 10:00 / 12:45
Period: Dec 2026 – Mar 2027
Includes: Transfers to and from Tromsø, English-speaking guide, hot drinks (tea/coffee), traditional Norwegian snack, thermal suit, boots and gloves.
In the morning hours, join an unforgettable Arctic adventure on the outskirts of Tromsø, where you can drive your own team of huskies through snowy landscapes. Join us for an unforgettable day at Camp Aspemo, where you can experience authentic life above the Arctic Circle. Whether your adventure begins by meeting our huskies, exploring the dog yard, or settling in to listen to stories, every part of your visit offers something unique, personal, and deeply rooted in northern traditions. Your experience begins with a scenic one-hour bus ride from Tromsø. After meeting your enthusiastic team of huskies at the camp and receiving warm clothing and boots, you will learn how to safely handle a sled and head out into the snowy landscape. You will drive in pairs, taking turns as musher and passenger, and cover between 3 and 4 kilometers in 30 to 40 minutes (depending on weather and snow conditions). Dog sledding is an authentic and exciting 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 sled ride. You will also learn behind the scenes how we care for our dogs year-round, including how we balance activity with rest (with weekly stays at a secondary camp to relax), how we ensure proper nutrition, and how we safeguard the physical and mental well-being of each dog. Between activities, we will invite you to our warm and cozy cabin for coffee and a traditional Norwegian snack. Here we will share stories about life in the Arctic, from the changing extremes of weather and light throughout the seasons, to the rich traditions of Sámi culture and the deep connection between people, animals, and nature in the north. This is a journey into the heart of the Arctic, not just to see it, but to truly feel it.
