Northern Lights Dog Sledding Safari from Kirkenes

The Northern Lights are a mesmerizing natural spectacle that occurs thanks to the interaction between the Earth's atmosphere and particles from the sun. Kirkenes, with its Arctic location in northeastern Norway, long winter nights, and minimal light pollution, provides an excellent opportunity to witness this breathtaking phenomenon. This dog sledding and Northern Lights safari from Kirkenes offers an immersive and unforgettable experience in Norway's wild Arctic landscapes.

Your adventure begins after being picked up from either the Thon or Scandic Hotels in Kirkenes (please specify when booking). You'll be driven to the departure point, where you and your group will put on your winter gear, including thermal overalls, boots, mittens, and a balaclava. After a safety briefing and an introduction to dog sledding from your experienced musher (dog sled driver), you will meet the energetic and adorable huskies!

Then, the fun starts! Your mushers will drive the dog teams with 2 people sitting in each sled, so you can sit back and experience the thrill of riding through the nighttime winter landscapes and into the wilderness that surrounds Kirkenes. If you're lucky, you'll witness the vivid colours of the Aurora Borealis, far away from the city lights, but keep in mind that this is a natural and uncontrollable phenomenon, so there's a possibility that you won't be able to see them. Along your journey, you will stop to rest the huskies and will be treated to some fascinating stories from your expert guide before heading back to the Snowhotel. After saying goodbye to your four-legged friends, you'll be taken back to the original meeting point in Kirkenes with memories that will last a lifetime!

For a magical experience in Norway, don't miss this Northern Lights dog sledding safari from Kirkenes! You won't regret it.
