Husky Sled Ride

General information

This tour is operated by Tromsø Villmarkssenter.

After a 25-minute transfer from Tromsø, you will arrive at Tromsø Villmarkssenter, where you will receive a thermal suit and boots before heading out with the dogs.

Sit back in the sled while an experienced musher drives the team through the snowy landscape. The sled ride lasts approximately 45 minutes, depending on weather and snow conditions, and is a comfortable option for families, photographers and anyone who would like to experience dog sledding without driving the sled themselves.

After the ride, visit the dog yard and meet some of the approximately 200 Alaskan huskies and their puppies. During the guided visit, you can learn more about the breed, dog sled racing and how the dogs are cared for.

Finish your visit around the fire in a traditional gamme, where hot drinks and lunch are served. The meal is bidos, a traditional Sámi stew with reindeer meat, with a vegetarian option available when requested in advance. Coffee and chocolate cake are served afterwards before the return journey to Tromsø.
