With this tour, you will get to know Alta’s most popular and important activity, dog sledding. During this exciting adventure you might even spot a moose or other wildlife along the way!
You will be picked up from your hotel in Alta, and transferred to the dog farm. There you will receive warm clothes. When dressed up, you will meet the guides and your dog-team. Before going for a ride, you get an instruction on how to handle the sled.
You will be driving in pairs, with one driver and one that sits in the back, and can change positions halfway. Please let us know if you want to be a passenger, and this can be arranged.
During the dim arctic afternoon twilight, you will drive into the forest along the riverbanks of the Alta river. Enjoy the nature and the silence of the forest, while driving with the dogs.
When returned at the farm, you will be served a hot drink in the Lavvo (a traditional sami tent). The guide is happy to answer all your questions, to talk about racing dogs and life on the husky farm. To end this day, you will have some extra time to greet the huskies and take pictures with them.
