Dog Sledding & Northern Lights in Lyngsfjord

Evening dog sledding excursion in the spectacular Norwegian winter wonderland from Tromsø to Lyngsfjord, providing you the best opportunities to see the Northern Lights. 

Upon arrival at the wilderness camp you will receive outdoor clothes and shoes to keep you warm during your visit. An experienced musher will brief you how to drive a dog sledding team before heading out into the stunning Vass valley - an uninhabited forest landscape surrounded by towering mountains.

You will be driving in pairs, one driver and one passenger on each sled, with an opportunity to switch places half way. You will drive through the white Norwegian landscapes and the beautiful valley surrounded by majestic mountains. The trail is approximately 10-12 kilometres long and you will dog sled for about 1,5-2 hours. 

At the end of your dog sledding trip, you will return to the wilderness camp for a hot meal and coffee served in the lavvu (Sami herdsmen’s tent). The camp is located in an uninhabited area where no artificial light will disturb your chances of seeing the Northern Lights. The dark and quiet surroundings hold a genuine Arctic atmosphere.

Return transfer back to Tromsø after the meal.
