Full description
This tour departs from the city center of Tromsø from where you will head out on a scenic 50-minute bus transfer to our camp in Breivikeidet.
Upon arrival at our camp in Breivikeidet, situated in a picturesque valley close to the sea, you will be welcomed by our friendly staff. We will provide you with thermal suits, boots, hats and mittens before heading out on our dogsledding adventure. Your guide will go through the safety instructions and show you the basics of driving the sled.
After listening carefully to the demonstration and a few minutes of practice, you will enjoy driving on the open fields and inside the forest trails with the mountains of the Lyngen Alps as your backdrop.
Two people will share one sled: one as a driver and the other one as a passenger, and you will get the chance to swap places halfway through the tour. This will provide everyone with the opportunity to experience the life of a dog musher and to take all the photographs they want while being a passenger. The total duration of the sledding tour is about 65 minutes (this is subject to the weather - and trail conditions, so the duration of the sledding tour can differ every day). After your dog sledding ride and arriving back at the camp, you are invited into our lavvu (indigenous Sami tent), where you can enjoy a hot drink and cake around the campfire.
Once you changed back to your normal clothes, and waved one last goodbye to the huskies, it is time to board back the bus to Tromsø.
