Dog Sledding in Skibotn Valley from Tromsø - Afternoon

Join a dog sledding tour from Tromsø to Skibotn Valley and drive your own husky team through snow-covered pine forests and winter landscapes with views towards the Lyngen Alps.

This tour is operated by Activenorth.

Travel from Tromsø to Activenorth’s husky camp in Skibotn Valley. On arrival, you will receive warm winter equipment and meet the energetic Alaskan huskies. Before setting off, an experienced musher will give you a safety briefing and instructions on how to handle and drive the sled.

You will then drive your own dog sled through snow-covered pine forests and the open winter landscape of Skibotn Valley, with views of the surrounding mountains and the Lyngen Alps along the way.

The dog sledding lasts approximately 60 minutes. Afterwards, warm up at the camp with hot soup and bread, coffee and tea, with time to relax before travelling back to Tromsø.

In December and early January, parts or all of the dog sledding may take place in darkness. A headlamp will be provided when required.
