Tromsø Dog Sledding

This tour is operated by Best Arctic.

Our dog sledding is located only a 45-minute drive from Tromsø, at the gateway to the Lyngen Alps. This area gives you stunning views of the majestic mountain peaks (up to 1,400 metres) and the fjord at the same time.

Our tour involves 60 minutes of dog sledding along tree-lined trails and through open terrain. A briefing on how to handle the sled will be given before the trip. It’s not that hard, as the dogs are eager to run and follow the team in front of them.

During the ride, you will be the musher and part of a team together with your dogs. Your travelling partner will be sitting on the sled, and you switch positions halfway through the tour. Our guides will lead groups of 3–4 guest teams each. If you are travelling alone, you may be teamed up with another guest or one of our guides.

After the adventure, we head inside to warm up by the fireplace and enjoy a hot lunch and hot drinks. Breivikeidet has a large population of moose and reindeer during summer. We will tell you the story of the moose, the Alaskan Huskies and the daily life of our four-legged friends.
