Step into the heart of Norway's frozen backcountry with an unforgettable night in a traditional lavvo, nestled in the untouched wilderness of Kvaløya.
General information
This experience is operated by Kvaløya Husky.
Enjoy a hearty, traditional Norwegian dinner in our cosy cabin before settling into the warmth of the Sami tent for a night under the stars. If you're lucky, the Northern Lights will dance above, adding a touch of magic to the experience. Throughout your stay, you're invited to be part of the action – whether it's chopping wood for the fire or making popcorn over the flames, there are plenty of opportunities to connect with nature. Enjoy breakfast in the morning before returning, hopefully with some amazing photos and unforgettable memories.
You will be picked up outside the Radisson Blu Hotel in Tromsø and driven to our kennel. The drive will take approximately 45 minutes. There, you will be provided with warm clothing before we take you out to the camp, where you will spend the night in the pristine nature of Kvaløya.
Once you arrive, you'll receive some practical information and have time to soak in the breathtaking surroundings. Dinner – a hearty, traditional Norwegian meal – will be served in our cosy cabin, where you can relax and enjoy the warmth of the fireplace.
You can find the menu options here.
As night falls, we will cook popcorn over an open fire and share stories in the company of our furry companions, while we wait for the Northern Lights to dance above.
You will sleep in sleeping bags on reindeer skins inside a traditional lavvo, with a wood-burning stove to keep you warm, cosy and comfortable.
In the morning, you'll enjoy breakfast – traditional Norwegian waffles cooked over the fire. Here, we take in the final moments of this experience before packing up and returning to the kennel. You will then be driven back to Tromsø.
This is an adventure where you are welcome to get hands-on and experience the true essence of Norwegian outdoor life – where the cold, the beauty of winter, and the thrill of nature come together for an unforgettable experience.
If you would like to make your Arctic wilderness camping experience even more memorable, an exclusive dog sledding trip (just for you) can be arranged upon request.

About Kvaløya Husky
In 2019 Tommy established Kvaløya Husky AS, after gathering 20 years of dogsledding experience into one kennel.
Experience coming from living, training and competing with dogs. We have a small kennel with 57 Alaskan Huskies, that loves running, eating and relaxing. The dogs are our family, that we are spending most of our time taking care of and love. Our huskies range from being puppies to senior dogs. All of our mushers know every single one of our dogs, their personality and sound. Everyone from Brille our alpha to our young ones.
Over many years the kennel has trained a full team of racedogs, with the stamina to compete in some of the most challenging dogsledding races in the world, like Finnmarksløpet. Come join dogsledding with true athletes.
Kvaløya Husky is placed in Straumsbukta, just a 45-minute drive from Tromsø centrum. It is the place where Tommy grew up, where he knows every hill, every path and every single tree. Tommy has opened his arm to welcome guests from all over the world to our dogyard, where you can learn all about the care of real polar dogs. You can also join us for dogsledding in the sled of one of our experienced mushers. During the winter we use our self-built sleds that can fit 2 guests plus our musher in the back. When there is no snow we use Troll wagons with wheels, so you can also come visit us in summer and fall - as long as the weather allows us.
For a short while you can leave the city of Tromsø and explore the amazing arctic nature together with us. And we can guarantee that we have some interesting stories from our life here in the arctic center of Norway.
Our activities are perfect whether you want to explore the nature, learn about dog care or have a new experience with your friends and family.
We live out our dream, that is working alongside our best friends, the dogs.
