Guided Dog Sledding Safari from Kirkenes

Located in northeastern Norway, Kirkenes' beautiful Arctic landscapes attract outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers from all over the world, especially in the winter months. One of the most popular activities in Kirkenes is dog sledding, which is a thrilling and immersive way to discover the Norwegian wilderness while experiencing traditional transportation methods and interacting with four-legged friends!

Your dog sledding adventure begins in Kirkenes, where you will be picked up from either the Thon or Scandic Hotels (please specify when booking). After a 15-minute drive to the Snowhotel, you and your group will gear up in thermal overalls, boots, mittens, and a balaclava. Then, your friendly guide will provide a safety briefing along with an introduction to dog sledding. Now, it's time to meet your furry companions before setting out into the Arctic wilderness!

With your expert musher driving the dog team, you can sit back in the sled (2 people per sled) and enjoy the view. The journey will cover a total of 10 km (6.2 miles) in around 1 hour, and pass through a frozen fjord and forest. Along the way, while your group stops to rest the huskies, your guide will entertain you with some fascinating local stories. And if conditions permit, you may have the opportunity to try driving the dog team! After a fun-filled excursion, you'll return to the Snowhotel for your transfer back to Kirkenes.

To enjoy your incredible 2-hour guided dog sledding safari from Kirkenes, you should come prepared with thermal or wool underlayers, as well as wind and waterproof outerwear, since you will have to return the suit you'll wear during the experience, and you still need to stay warm in the freezing temperatures of northern Norway. You should also bring anything else you might need (medication, sunglasses, etc.) to stay safe and comfortable in the sled.
