Don't forget your camera to capture your experience.

3. I booked a dog sledding trip, but it's no snow 

No snow, no problem. If the snow conditions are poor, we will arrange a cart tour instead. The cart has 4 wheels and no motor. A guide will still join you, and you also get to steer yourself if you want to. The view of the mountains and nature will be the same. 

4. Is dog sledding suitable for anyone?

Yes. From kids to retirees - everybody usually love dog sledding. The only concideration is your tolerance for low temperatures since it's an outdoor activity in the Arctic. Read more in our terms and conditions, or ask us if you have any medical issues. Small children are also more vulnerable to low temperatures than adults, so please let us know if you bring infants so that we can arrange a safe and comfortable stay for you.

5. Can I pet the huskies?

There will be plenty of time petting the huskies! We will let you know when it's ok to pet them. Right before we go dog sledding they are super focused and eager to run, so normally we do the petting after. But you'll sure find your favorite dog!
