Your experience

Drive your own dog sled through the Arctic landscape near Tromsø, meet huskies up close, and enjoy hot drinks and cookies on a 4-hour adventure.

Getting started

Begin your experience from Tromso. After meeting your group, board the coach for a comfortable transfer to the husky kennel, located about 45 minutes from Tromso. Upon arrival, you’ll receive a safety briefing and an introduction to the dogs before gearing up with thermal winter suits, boots, and gloves.

What to expect

Husky kennel and sledding track

Your visit starts at the kennel, where you’ll meet the team of energetic huskies and learn about their lives from experienced mushers.

• Spend time getting to know the huskies, with the chance to cuddle and interact with them before your sled ride.

• Receive a thorough safety briefing and introduction, ensuring you’re prepared for the activity and comfortable with the sledding process.

• Thermal winter suits, boots, and gloves are provided to keep you warm in the Arctic conditions throughout your visit.

Self-drive dog sled ride

Take part in a 20–30-minute self-drive dog sled ride through the snowy Arctic landscape, with two people per sled (one standing to steer, one sitting).

• Work together with your husky team as you glide across the snow, surrounded by mountain views and crisp winter air.

• Swap positions halfway through the ride if you wish, so both guests can experience steering and sitting.

Relaxation and return

After your sledding adventure, return to the indoor lounge for a well-deserved break.

• Warm up with hot drinks and cookies, sharing stories and photos from your ride with fellow guests.

• When your visit concludes, board the coach for your return transfer to Tromso, bringing your Arctic memories with you.
