About the activity

The village of Skibotn in Norway is situated on the eastern shore of the Lyngen fjord, surrounded by picturesque landscapes and mountains. Located in the north of the country and close to the Arctic Circle, the region features snowy conditions in the winter months, creating a white wonderland. Dog sledding is a traditional activity in this region and a great way to discover the natural beauty of the area!

Once you arrive, the experienced dog musher will introduce you to the friendly Alaskan Huskies native to the region. You will begin with a safety briefing and driving lesson before receiving your Arctic gear. Each sled will be shared by 2, 1 passenger and 1 driver, with the chance to switch during the tour. Once you are prepared, the adventure begins!

Your team of energetic dogs (4 to 5 dogs) will pull your sled into the pine forests that surround the kennel for 1 to 1.5 hours of dog sledding in the Skibotn Valley. Travelling through the scenic outdoors, you will experience true Arctic wilderness! The dogs will travel up into the snowy mountains, providing a picturesque view of the Lyngen Alps, an extraordinary mountain range. This traditional activity will make you feel like a local as you discover nature and wildlife. Midway through, you will take a short break so the dogs can rest. Then, after switching drivers, you will ride back to the camp. Upon returning to the farm, you will say goodbye to your new four-legged friends before your return transfer to Tromsø.

Book your self-drive dog sledding excursion for a fun-filled family adventure to experience the beauty of the Skibotn Valley in Norway from Tromsø!

L’activité n’était ni trop longue (pour résister au froid) ni trop courte ! Nous avons d’abord pu déguster de délicieuses soupes (renne ou vegetarien) puis nous avons retrouvé les chiens qui sont adorables et super impatients de partir courir ! Le matériel fourni est de très bonne qualité et bien chaud.

Everything was perfect and very well organised. There was not enough snow in Skibotn, so we drove to another spot near the finnish border and the landscape was breathtaking. We had a great time, good food in beautiful Mumin bowls, very lovely, happy and cuddly dogs and so much fun driving the sled with them for about an hour. My ten year old son was to small to ride the sled himself but really enjoyed the passenger seat in front all the time. 10/10! Thank you so much!
