Description

Experience the thrill of dog sledding beneath the mesmerizing Northern Lights in Alta, Norway. Your adventure begins with a scenic minibus ride from Alta to the charming Gargia mountain lodge, where you'll be outfitted with warm Arctic clothing for comfort in the crisp winter air.

Upon arrival, expert guides will introduce you to the basics of dog sledding and help you meet your enthusiastic team of huskies. Each guest or pair will have the chance to drive the sled, taking turns along the snowy trail through pine forests and up to the breathtaking Finnmarksvidda plateau.

As you glide across the pristine landscape, the magic of the Aurora Borealis may illuminate the sky above, creating an unforgettable backdrop. The synergy between you and your huskies makes this journey uniquely exhilarating and deeply immersive in the Arctic wilderness.

After about an hour outdoors, you'll return to the historic Gargia lodge to warm up with hot coffee and tea. Here, guides share stories about local history and the tradition of dog sledding, adding cultural depth to your adventure.

This small-group experience is suitable for ages eight and up, with all dog sledding equipment and transport included. Spaces are limited, so check availability and book your spot now to secure this once-in-a-lifetime Arctic adventure.
