Norway · SNOWMOBILE & DOG SLEDDING

The 15 Best Husky & Snowmobile Days in Norway

A sled you drive yourself costs roughly double one you sit behind, and that difference is the whole experience. These 15 separate self-drive from passenger runs, camp lunches from night trips, with prices and the months each operates.

“This was an amazing!!! But be warned!! If it snows ALOT the night before your trip, just know you’ll be running behind/ pushing to help the dogs if the snow is deep. The dogs are strong but they need help going up the hills. My husband and I had a great workout! You do need to have some sort of physical abilities for this excursion. The guides were wonderful and patient. Another piece of advice is try to get the sled in the front by the guide. There’s a chance you could get stuck behind people that weren’t listening to directions and weren’t helping the dogs, hence, stopping every few…”

“The activity itself was excellent. We had a bad start where there were too many activities being organised at once at the bus shelter with not enough buses. We were told to wait inside, then after a while I went back outside to follow up and they removed a whole group off a bus and put our group on it. We left about 25 minutes later than the start time after everyone arrived 15 minutes earlier as instructed. However once we left, the driver was lovely and once we arrived for the activity all was forgotten. As an animal lover, I am always worried about booking activities like this incase…”

“My daughter and I did this self-drive husky dog sledding experience about 35 minutes from Tromsø, in the hills of the neighbouring island. Despite windy and snowy conditions, the activity was very well organised and great fun. We started sledding at 14:00, which meant sledding in the dark using headlamps. While this was still enjoyable, I would recommend going during the twilight hours (around 09:30–14:30) and hoping for clear weather to better appreciate the beautiful surrounding landscape. The huskies appeared well cared for, energetic, and clearly loved to run. The owners are passionate and attentive to the dogs’ wellbeing and daily exercise needs. Overall, a memorable and enjoyable Arcti...”

Animals are so well cared for, unlike most animals in tourism nowadays. So glad we booked it. Staff were all really friendly, welcoming and funny too! Trip highlight so far”
