Activity description
Discover Norway's Arctic wilderness while driving a team of energetic huskies on this fun-filled, all-inclusive excursion in Moen, departing from Tromsø! Welcoming adventurers of ages 12 and above.
Situated above the Arctic Circle, Tromsø is one of the most popular destinations in Scandinavia for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers, especially in the winter. Outside of the city, a pristine winter wonderland awaits, the perfect terrain for dog sledding! If you've always wanted to experience the adrenaline rush of driving a team of huskies in the middle of the Nordic wilderness, this excursion is for you!
Your adventure begins in Tromsø where you will board the shuttle for the 130 km (80.7 miles) journey to Moen. Sit back, relax, and admire the stunning scenery along the way. Upon your arrival, you and your group (a maximum of 16 participants) will be greeted by your experienced instructor who will give you warm winter outerwear and boots to change into. After a safety briefing and an introduction to dog sledding techniques, you'll get to meet the adorable huskies!
Then, the fun starts! You'll set off into the Arctic wilderness at high speed with your team of huskies, taking in the magnificent mountainous landscapes and snow-capped forests as you go. Please note that one person will drive while the other sits in the sled. The speed and trail is rather challenging and suitable for those who wish to feel the thrill of driving the sled! Midway through the excursion, you'll stop for a break for both you and the huskies. At this time, participants can switch places and take turns driving.
Once you've returned to the base and helped with feeding the huskies, you'll be treated to a delicious lunch. (Vegetarian options are available, please specify when booking.) This is the perfect time to ask your instructor, an experienced musher, any questions you have about huskies, dog sledding, and life in northern Norway. After saying goodbye to your four-legged friends, you'll depart for Tromsø with lifelong memories of your time in Moen!
