Dog Sledding, day trip to Lyngsfjord

Full day dog sledding excursion from Tromsø to Lyngsfjord. Drive your own team of huskies through the stunning Vass valley - an uninhabited forest landscape surrounded by towering mountains.

Upon arrival you will be greeted by friendly husky dogs ready to take you on your next snow adventure. At the wilderness camp you will receive outdoor clothes to keep you warm during your stay. An experienced musher will brief you how to drive a dog sledding team before heading out into winter wonderland.  

You will be driving in pairs, one driver and one passenger on each sled, with an opportunity to switch places half way. This excursion is physically challenging and requires a good fitness level to participate. If you wish to swap places halfway through the run so that each person can take a turn driving, both people must meet the fitness requirements. 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 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). 

Return transfer back to Tromsø after the meal.
