General information

This tour is operated by Activenorth.

Travel from Tromsø to Helligskogen Fjellstue in Skibotn, where a hot meal is served before you meet the Alaskan huskies and prepare for the dog sledding. A vegetarian alternative is available when booked in advance.

An experienced musher will provide the necessary instructions on how to handle the sled. You will travel in pairs, with one person driving and the other sitting in the sled, and can change places during the tour.

The trail leads through pine forest and into the winter landscape of Skibotn Valley, with views of the surrounding mountains and the Lyngen Alps. The dog sledding lasts approximately 1.5 hours. There will be a short break halfway, with time to take photos, change drivers and spend time with the dogs.

In December and early January, parts or all of the dog sledding may take place in darkness. A headlamp will be provided when required.

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.
