Dog Sledding Adventure Daytime - Incl. Transport

Description

Start your exciting journey with a bus ride from Tromsø city center. After a relaxing 95-minute drive through the stunning Arctic mountains and fjords, you'll reach the remote wilderness near Tamokhuset.

Upon arrival, you'll be divided into two groups.

The first group will prepare for the dog sledding activity by gearing up with essential equipment, including thermal suits, boots, and gloves, to ensure comfort and warmth. After receiving instructions on sled steering, they'll head out on their dog sledding adventure.

Meanwhile, the second group will visit the dog yard, enjoy a hot meal and drink, and listen to interesting facts about our huskies. After some relaxation time at the camp, they will gear up and receive instructions for their own dog sledding adventure.

Once the first group returns from their sled ride, the groups will switch. The second group will then embark on their adventure, while the first group relaxes at the camp with a hot meal and drinks, visits the dog yard, and learns more about the huskies.

After the second group returns from their sledding adventure, it will be time to board the bus for the return trip to Tromsø. Sit back, relax, and reflect on your day's adventures in the Arctic wilderness as you head back to the city center.

About Your Dog Sledding Activity

You will be paired with another guest, sharing one sled. One person will take on the role of musher, steering the energetic huskies through the snowy landscape, while the other enjoys the ride seated on the sled. Midway through, you'll have the opportunity to switch roles, giving both of you the chance to experience the excitement of leading the huskies and the enjoyment of being a passenger.

This dog sledding experience is designed to be accessible for most participants. While you will need basic physical fitness to walk on snowy terrain and help the dogs by pushing the sled, the route is mostly flat and open, making the sledding both comfortable and easy.

Practical Information

Level of difficulty

Medium.

To drive your own dogsled requires strength and fitness and a good physical condition is necessary to participate: Some parts of the trail can be covered with a fresh layer of snow or go uphill which means in both cases you will have to help the dogs to push the sled. The trail can be narrow and have sharp bends, which requires a good balance to steer the sled. Since you will be sharing the sled with another person it is required for both of you to meet these requirements when swapping places halfway the tour. Our guides are entitled to deny drivers and passengers to join this tour out of health and safety reason.
