Experience dog sledding in the beautiful Bardufoss region, just two hours by the Arctic Route bus from Tromsø. Departure from Scandic Ishavshotel every day at 09.00, back in the city at 18.00.
The experience is sold in the period 1 December 2022 to 31 March 2023. The bus is run by Bussring and is modern and comfortable with Wi-Fi, coffee/tea and a toilet available on board.
The Bardufoss region has an inland climate with calm and clear weather most days, which provides optimal conditions for spectacular northern lights and lots of snow. After a bus ride through beautiful countryside, you meet up close and personal the fascinating sled dogs in the Arctic. You can drive the dog sled yourself or sit on the sled and just enjoy the trip into the wilderness. Along the way, you will be served a local lunch, as well as snacks, coffee and hot chocolate or juice.
After the dog sled, a guide will pick you up for an optional activity; choose between a short snowshoe trip, short local guiding or just relaxation in cozy surroundings. In any case, you get an insight into the local culture in the Bardufoss region and the daily life of the sled dogs. The activity can be booked by 18.00 the day before.
In this dog sledding experience you will be two persons on one sled: one sitting on the sled while the other acts as a musher, controlling the dogs and the sled. Our tracks are easy to navigate. You have to be in a normal condition to participate.
