Drive your own sled with a team of huskies, sleep in a 150‑year‑old log house, and chase the Northern Lights outside Tromsø. This private two‑day experience blends hands‑on sledding, kennel life, and authentic Arctic hospitality.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A pale blue dusk tightens around the trees as you step from the 150‑year‑old log house into a world that feels slowed by snow. The huskies greet you with eager breath and thumping tails; soon your sled cuts a clean line through frost-crisp pines and over open, silent meadows. The wind here has a voice—sometimes playful, sometimes insistent—pushing the team and carrying the smell of smoke from the lodge’s wood stove back toward you.

Layer for changing temperatures
Bring merino base layers, an insulating midlayer, and a windproof outer shell—the farm provides some warm outer garments but layering controls sweat and warmth during activity.
Protect hands and face
Cold, windy runs demand insulated gloves and a thin liner for braking and dog handling plus a balaclava for wind protection.
Hydrate and eat properly
Cold suppresses thirst; drink warm fluids and eat the provided camp lunch to maintain energy for uphill sections where you’ll help the dogs.
Follow guide instructions around dogs
Respect kennel routines and the handler’s directions—approach dogs calmly and never feed them without permission to ensure safety and welfare.
Insulated winter boots
Warm, waterproof boots with good traction keep feet dry during sledding and around the farm.
