Info

Description

Embark on a thrilling journey across the Arctic wilderness as you guide your own team of spirited huskies through snow-laden trails. This full-day excursion beyond Tromsø combines nature, culture and adventure: we drive you to Malangen Resort for dogsledding plus reindeer feeding and storytelling.

After learning the sledding techniques you'll be ready to command your own sled. Each sled is shared by two adventurers — one as the musher (the driver must be 18+) and one as the passenger — with the chance to switch roles halfway.

You'll also visit the reindeer yard, feed the animals and learn about their significance to the region. For lunch we gather in a traditional lavvu, where you'll enjoy a warm and hearty Sami bidos that embodies the flavours and history of the North.
