🐕
Dog Sledding Adventure

This trip is about exploring and going through varied terrain in a majestic landscape. Along the way, we have a short stay to make a fire, have a coffee, and enjoy some snacks. You will share a sled and will be able to change drivers in the middle of the trip. Before starting the experience, you get the chance to help change the harness on the team and also greet the Alaskan huskies. An incredible bond arises between the huskies and the people on the sleigh. You will quickly learn to guide and talk to them, and if there is one thing the Huskies love, it is running and getting a hug. This is a trip where you will experience friendship with animals, beautiful scenery, and fantastic views in the heart of the Lyngen Alps. Because the trip is quite long and with challenging trails, you need to be in good physical shape.
