This tour is conducted by Tromsø Villmarkssenter. Lean back in your sled and enjoy the moment, while one of our experienced mushers drives you safely through the gorgeous mountain landscape of Kvaløya-Island.
General information
This tour is perfect for taking pictures, families with children or anyone who wants to go on an adventure, but relaxed and in comfort.
Upon arrival at our center, located 25 minutes outside of Tromsø city, you will receive thermal overalls and boots to keep you warm and comfy during your stay. Once you are well-equipped, our guides will take you for an approximately 45 minutes ride (depending on the weather conditions) in a sled shared with another guest.
When you return, our 200 Alaskan huskies and their puppies eagerly await your visit. On a guided tour of our dog yard, you can learn about the Alaskan Husky breed, dog sled racing and animal welfare. After the tour, you can relax and warm up around an open fire in our cozy Gamme-Hut. Here, you will also be served hot drinks and lunch. You can try Bidos, a traditional Sami reindeer dish, but we also offer a vegetarian option on preliminary request. A piece of our world-famous chocolate cake for dessert will be the final highlight before we make our way back to Tromsø.

About Tromsø Villmarkssenter
30 years ago, the renowned dog sled racer Tove Sørensen opened her home to guests from all over the world. Since then, she and her family have dedicated their life to educating visitors about Alaskan huskies, dog sledding and the arctic nature through sustainable outdoor activities.
We strive to be inclusive hosts in every regard - everybody who shares our passion is welcome! You can request vegetarian and vegan alternatives for all our programs and most of our activities are great for the whole family. Let your little ones play with our little ones in the puppy training program or take them on a sledding adventure chauffeured safely by one of our experienced guides. Infants between 0-2 are always free of charge and we offer discounts for children!
Our facilities are also wheelchair accessible and especially the dog sledding ride program is well suited for people with disabilities. However, our walkways can be a bit difficult to maneuver, especially when covered in snow. So make sure to have a helper with you when you come visit! The standard shuttle service requires you to enter the bus on your own, but we can arrange for specialized transportation upon request. Please contact us if you are planning to visit, we would love to tailor-make a smooth and barrier free experience for you!
On our programs you will not only experience everything we love about our home, but discover your very own inner connection to the Arctic. Whether you let us teach you how to drive a sled or let a four-legged hiking buddy show you their favorite trails – Tromsø Villmarkssenter is your home in the wilderness!
