Tour Overview

Experience the Arctic like a true musher, with a team of eager huskies pulling your sled. Drive yourself or ride as a passenger and take in the winter landscapes of Northern Norway. The tour starts in Alta, where a comfortable minibus takes you to Gargia in about 30 minutes. Our experienced guides greet you and give thorough training in dog sledding. When you are ready, you get your own team. We drive two to a sled and take turns driving, unless otherwise agreed. The huskies lead you through the pine forest by the mountain lodge and across the frozen landscape, and you feel the teamwork between you and the dogs. After about 60 minutes outdoors, we take the tour into our warm gamme. Lunch, coffee and toddy are served around the fire, while the guides share stories about dog sledding and local history. We and the huskies look forward to welcoming you. Good to know The minimum age is 8. To drive alone you must be 16, and children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. A moderate level of fitness is required. The tour is not recommended for people with back problems, heart problems or other serious medical conditions, or for pregnant travellers.
