A dog team with 4–6 huskies takes you on an exciting sledding trip through Gratangen’s deep forests. Join us in the wilderness and let lightning-fast paws carry you through mystical landscapes.

Take the Lead – Drive Your Own Dog Sled!

With us, you can experience this up close. Before we start, we provide you with thorough training in English on how to drive a dog sled yourself. This activity is specifically designed for guests to actively drive their own sled, not simply ride as passengers. The safety of both you and the dogs is our highest priority.

 

You and your partner will be given a sled with 4–6 dogs, where one of you drives the sled and the other sits in the sled. Ready, set, go!

 

Mid-Tour Break and Photo Opportunities

Halfway through, we take a short break so the dogs can rest. Here, you’ll also have the opportunity to switch drivers and take pictures. The tour is led by an experienced guide with their own dog team, ensuring you have a safe and unforgettable experience.

 

After the Tour – Meet Your New Four-Legged Friends

When the tour is over, we thank each dog for their effort – the huskies love it! You’ll feel like you’ve made a new, four-legged friend. Afterwards, we explain what it means to be involved in dog sledding and how we take care of the animals.

 

After the adventure, we serve lunch wraps with smoked salmon, lingonberries, sour cream and warm drinks in a cosy, heated lavvu (Sámi tent).
