Advanced Dog Sledding Midday - Including Transport

This tour is conducted by Lyngsfjord Adventure / Norwegian Travel. Embark on an exciting journey departing from the city center of Tromsø by bus. After a 90-minute relaxing bus journey, you will enter the remote area Tamokdalen where our wilderness camp is located.

Upon arrival at Camp Tamok, you will be warmly greeted by your guide and outfitted with the essential gear including thermal suits, boots, and gloves, ensuring comfort and warmth for the adventure ahead. After preparations and necessary instructions on how to control and steer the sled, the main attraction awaits: set off on your unforgettable dog sledding adventure!

On the dog sled ride, you will pair up with another guest, with two of you sharing a sled. One takes on the role of musher, guiding a team of energetic huskies through the snowy terrain, while the other enjoys the ride seated on the sled. Halfway, you will have the chance to switch roles, allowing each person to experience both the thrill of leading a team of huskies and the joy of being a passenger.

After the dog sled ride, you will have the opportunity to visit our dog yard and indulge in some cuddle time with the huskies. To complete the experience, you can relax and warm up with a hot meal and drink by the open fire inside one of the lávvu (indigenous Sámi tent).

With memories made for life, it is time to board the bus again for your return to Tromsø. Get comfortable and take a moment to reflect on your day's our in the Arctic wilderness before arriving back to the city center of Tromsø.

This advanced dog sledding adventure has been labelled as a challenging activity with high difficulty level. The tour requires strength and fitness from all our guests, and a good physical condition is necessary to participate. Some parts of the trail can be covered with a fresh layer of snow or go uphill which means in both cases you will have to help the dogs to push the sled. The trail can be narrow and have sharp bends, which requires a good balance to steer the sled.

Since you will be sharing the sled with another person it is required for both of you to meet these requirements when swapping places halfway the tour.
