Your adventure takes place in the scenic surroundings of Tromsø, where snowy forests, hills, and fjords create a spectacular winter setting for dog sledding. After meeting at the pick-up point in central Tromsø, you will enjoy a scenic drive along the fjords before arriving at the husky kennel in Malangen.

Once at the kennel, you will be introduced to the dogs and learn the basics of mushing from your guide. Then, you will help prepare the teams by harnessing the dogs and getting them ready for the sleds. This hands-on introduction gives you the opportunity to get closer to the dogs before beginning your adventure.

Follow the kennel's own trails through forests and over hills as your enthusiastic team of huskies leads you through the Arctic snowy landscapes!

Once back at the kennel, you may help release the dogs into their running area where they can stretch their legs and enjoy a well-deserved break. You will then warm up with a hot drink in the traditional fire hut before heading back to Tromsø.
