per person
Have you ever dreamt of mushing your very own husky team in the Norwegian wilderness?The Alaskan Huskys will great you with excited barking and friendly attitude, willingly pulling the sled into the valley of Skibotn. We will travel through the pine tree wood and into the beautiful white mountains. We will have a perfect view to the extraordinary mountain range, The Lyngen Alps. An added bonus on the trip is if we are so lucky to see the Aurora Borealis dancing across the sky.
General information
This tour is conducted by Activenorth. Come and visit our beautiful Alaskan Huskies.
Experienced dogsledding crew will give you instructions on how to drive your sled. You will drive in pairs, with one driver and one passenger on the sled. The driver can be changed along the way if desired.

About Activenorth
Activenorth´s people are a family of five. We live in Skibotn, where we have built our own houseas well as the dog kennel, on Tomas' family farm.
It all began with one dog named Grace in 2007, now we have around 30 dogs. We have been driving dogs with tourists since 2008, but this year we are making a new beginning in our own backyard. During the years of dogmushing we have raced the world's longest 8-dog race, 9 times; we have participated in races across Finland, Sweden and even on the border to Russia. The fantastic dogs have never failed to go, during blizzards, 45 degrees below, bad trails and whiteouts. The dogs are our family's passion, and the kids are always included when we are racing.
