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! This self-drive dog sledding excursion from Tromsø takes place in the village of Moen, situated within the beautiful Målselvdalen valley.

The self-drive dog sledding safari in Moen begins at the starting point in Tromsø. You will board the shuttle for the 130 km (81 mi) journey to Moen. Sit back, relax, and admire the stunning scenery along the way. Upon your arrival, you and your group 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 self-drive dog sledding adventure from Tromsø begins! 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 are 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 return to Tromsø, where the self-drove dog sledding excursion in Moen comes to an end.

For an unforgettable experience in Norway, don't miss this intermediate self-drive dog sledding safari from Tromsø!

The activity was amazing, the feeling of peace and tranquility, being at one with your dogs - we had Bruno, Zeus and Trakker. This activity was very organised and informative if you wanted to ask questions. Staff were very happy to talk to you about the dogs while also explaining how the sledge works! a nice warm drink afterwards followed with a stew.

Driving dog sleds in the beautiful Norwegian countryside was an experience I’ll never forget. My teenage sons and I split between 2 sleds and took turns driving and riding. It requires physical fitness and coordination as sometimes you have to help the dogs by pushing the sleds uphill.

Really enjoyed the day overall. The sledding was great and the dogs were fantastic. Enjoyed the food, although would have liked a bit more!

The husky sledding trip was an unforgettable adventure, blending excitement, breathtaking scenery, and a touch of winter magic. From start to finish, it felt like stepping into a storybook.
