Dog Sledding in Breivikeidet
Drive your own team of huskies! Dog sledding is an experience out of the ordinary and a must-do for anyone visiting Northern Norway.
The dog sled has been used for centuries throughout the Arctic region. Mostly for travel and hunting reasons. It’s an adventurous way of travel and it brings you closer to the raw arctic wildlife.
The activity starts with a 50-minutes’ drive out to our basecamp in Breivikeidet. Once arriving you will be welcomed by our friendly staff who will give you some information about the stay. If you didn’t bring warm clothing, you may borrow a polar insulated suit, boots, hats and mittens.
At the basecamp we have 84 friendly Alaskan huskies with their own name and personality. The huskies love to meet and interact with guests, so don’t be afraid to give them a cuddle or two.
After meeting the huskies, the musher for the day will go through our safety instructions so you can have a wonderful experience as a musher. You get your own sledge that you share with one other person and 4-6 huskies run in front. We will use approximately 1,5 hours on the sledge, and this gives us enough time to enjoy the landscape and change musher (the one driving the team of huskies) on the way.
There are departures at 08:30, 10:40 and 19:30. During the evening tour you may have the possibility to see the Northern Lights appear at the sky above you.
Notes!
- Dog sledding with our Alaskan huskies is an active experience. The sled team consist of two people on one sled sharing a team of dogs. Alaskan huskies love to run and together with the team you have to help push on parts of the tour. Team work is essential in dog sledding.
- Because of the activity level, we do not recommend dog sledding for people with physical disabilities, back problems, pelvic problems or for pregnant women past five months.
- We recommend that you purchase travel insurance prior to your holiday
