Join a dog sledding on wheels tour from Tromsø to Skibotn Valley. Drive a cart with Alaskan huskies and enjoy lunch after the experience.
General information
This tour is operated by Activenorth.
Experience dog sledding on wheels on a day trip from Tromsø to Skibotn Valley, travelling with a team of energetic Alaskan huskies.
Two guests share each cart. One person drives while the other rides as a passenger, and an experienced guide leads the group in a separate cart.
The dog sledding lasts approximately 60 minutes. There will be a stop along the way, giving you time to take photographs and spend some time with the dogs.
Lunch is served in connection with the tour. Group 1 goes dog sledding first and has lunch afterwards, while Group 2 has lunch first and starts dog sledding at 11:30 AM (11:30).

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.
