General information

This tour is operated by Activenorth.

The eager Alaskan Huskies greet you with excited barks and wagging tails, ready to take you on an unforgettable journey. Strong, friendly and full of energy, they work together with you to pull the sled through the Arctic landscape, guided by an experienced musher. We offer an adventure crafted from years of passion and experience in dogsledding.

The trail leads into the peaceful valley of Skibotn, winding through snow-covered pine forests. As the terrain opens up, you glide into a world of pristine snow and towering white peaks.

Ahead, the majestic Lyngen Alps rise dramatically, offering breathtaking views that make this journey truly unforgettable.

Please note: During December and early January, it may be dark or partially dark during the dogsledding experience. A headlamp is provided for the tour.

From Team Activenorth, we look forward to having you join us this winter.

About Activenorth

Activenorth’s people are a family of five. We live in Skibotn, where we have built our own house, as well as the dog kennel, on Tomas’ family farm.


It all began with one dog named Grace in 2007, and today we have around 30 dogs. We have been running dog sledding tours for tourists since 2008, but this year we are starting a new chapter in our own backyard.



Over the years, we have competed in the world’s longest eight-dog race nine times. We have taken part in races across Finland, Sweden and along the border with Russia.



These incredible dogs have never let us down – not during blizzards, in temperatures as low as -45°C, on difficult trails or in whiteout conditions.



The dogs are our family’s passion, and the children are always included when we race.
