General information

This tour is operated by Tromsø Villmarkssenter.

Travel from Tromsø to Tromsø Villmarkssenter and join an experienced guide for a hike through the surrounding Arctic landscape accompanied by some of the centre’s Alaskan huskies.

The hike lasts approximately 1.5–2 hours. The dogs are strong, energetic and love to pull, so they are usually shared between two or more guests during the hike. Along the way, your guide will tell you more about the huskies and their daily lives at the centre.

After the hike, visit the puppy enclosure, where you can meet and spend time with some of the centre’s future sled dogs.

Before returning to Tromsø, relax in the traditional gamme and enjoy a homemade lunch by the open fire. The meal is bacalao, a Norwegian fish dish with Portuguese roots, with a vegetarian option available on request. Coffee or tea and chocolate cake are served afterwards.

Minimum age: Recommended from 6 years. The hike is not recommended for younger children due to the walking distance. Please contact us before booking if you would like to participate with a child under 6.

About Tromsø Villmarkssenter

30 years ago, the renowned dog sled racer Tove Sørensen opened her home to guests from all over the world. 


Since then, she and her family have dedicated their lives to educating visitors about Alaskan huskies, dog sledding and Arctic nature through sustainable outdoor activities.



We strive to be inclusive hosts in every regard – everybody who shares our passion is welcome. Vegetarian and vegan alternatives are available for all our programmes, and most of our activities are suitable for the whole family. Let your little ones play with our little ones in the puppy training programme, or take them on a sledding adventure safely chauffeured by one of our experienced guides. Infants aged 0–2 years are always free of charge, and we offer discounts for children.



Our facilities are also wheelchair accessible, and our dog sledding ride programme in particular is well suited to people with disabilities. However, our walkways can be a little difficult to manoeuvre, especially when covered in snow. Therefore, we recommend bringing a helper with you when you visit. Our standard shuttle service requires guests to board the bus independently, but we can arrange specialised transportation upon request. Please contact us if you are planning a visit; we would be delighted to tailor a smooth and barrier-free experience for you.



On our programmes, you will not only experience everything we love about our home, but also discover your own connection to the Arctic. Whether you let us teach you how to drive a sled or allow a four-legged hiking companion to show you their favourite trails, Tromsø Villmarkssenter is your home in the wilderness.
