Description - What to expect

Start your Tromso dog sledding adventure with a pickup from Tromsø city center, and then drive to Breivikeidet through incredible arctic landscapes including fjords, snow-capped mountains, waterfalls, and picturesque villages.

Upon arrival at the camp, situated in a picturesque valley close to the sea, our friendly staff will welcome you, and we will provide you with thermal suits, winter boots, hats, and mittens before heading out on the dog sledding adventure. Before meeting your team of huskies, your guide will go through the safety instructions and show you the basics of steering the sled.

This Tromso dog sledding tour offers a short experience: you can drive your dog sled at a slow and comfortable pace for about 10-15 minutes depending on the conditions. Halfway through the tour, your guide will make a stop to take photos of you being a dog musher before you switch places with your passenger on the sled. Once done with taking the photos, you will start sledding back to camp for another 10-15 minutes.

After your dog sledding ride, you’ll get the chance to strengthen your bond with the huskies: you can give and receive all the cuddles you can handle.

After you visit the dog yard, you are invited to the warm comforts of our Panorama restaurant where you can learn a lot more about the dogs from our knowledgeable guides over some hot drinks and cake.

When you change back to your normal clothes and wave one last goodbye to the huskies, you’ll be driven back to the city by bus with the experience of a lifetime behind you and spectacular photos to show for it!
