Run Wild Mushing
Join a thrilling 4-hour husky hike through Norway’s stunning Malangen scenery. Encounter friendly sled dogs, conquer rugged trails, and create unforgettable memories in the wild.
Run Wild Mushing is a Troms-based excursion operator located in Meistervik, offering seasonal dog-powered and husky-led experiences in the Malangen area. The company specializes in small-group adventures that connect visitors with friendly huskies and northern landscapes. Offerings include an Arctic Family Fun Day designed for children and multigenerational groups, summer Dog Kart tours through forest tracks, guided Husky Hikes that pair a hiker with a single dog for four-hour treks, and winter sledding options such as a Half-day Dogsledding tour and evening Aurora Dog Sledding.
Each experience begins with an introduction to the dogs, basic handling instruction, and guidance on safety and local conditions. Group sizes are kept intentionally small to ensure personalized attention, easier interaction with the animals, and minimal environmental impact on trails and coastal terrain. Activities vary seasonally: summer programs focus on forest walks, berry picking, fishing, and campfire moments, while winter programs emphasize traditional mushing, sled driving, and the opportunity to view the northern lights.
Run Wild Mushing operates from Meistervik and runs tours that explore nearby Malangen landscapes, including forested hills and coastal vistas. The operator emphasizes animal care, hands-on learning, and accessible programming suitable for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone seeking an authentic Arctic dog experience. Communication about meeting points, clothing recommendations, and trip length is provided at booking to help guests prepare for weather and terrain conditions. Bookings are available seasonally with flexible start times, and staff provide clear pre-trip information to maximize comfort, safety, enjoyment, and accessibility across all age groups too.
