Self-Drive Dog Sledding

General information

This tour is conducted by Tromsø Villmarkssenter.

You will get your own sled to drive together with a friend or another guest, and you will switch drivers halfway through the trail. You can enjoy the Arctic coastal landscape with fantastic views of Tromsø, surrounded by snow-covered mountains and long fjords.

One of our experienced guides will teach you the basics of dog sledding, and then we set off into the wilderness. You will share the sled with another guest; one person driving and one riding as a passenger. At the halfway point, you will switch roles. In total, you will spend approximately 45 minutes on the sled, depending on the weather conditions.

Professional guides lead the group in their own sleds. After a trip out in the Norwegian winter, a meal of bidos, prepared with reindeer meat, broth and vegetables, is just what the body needs.

We serve the meal around the fire in our camp (a vegetarian option is available on request).
