Driving you "own" dog team

We offer extraordinary escape trips for the unique minded person.  You will experience the amazing Arctic environment and have the opportunity to appreciate more about the region and its unspoilt nature.  These tours are designed to be suitable for experienced mushers and for first-timers.  Four to six-dog teams are usually used, although this is reviewed to suit individual mushers.  To ensure a truly natural and traditional experience assistance from snow scooters is avoided with the exception of the Sami Reindeer Migration.  All the neccessary equipment will be on the dog sleds.

To provide our client’s access to the widest possible choice of dog sledding experiences we offer a range of different tours operated from of two key base locations in the Finnmark region of Arctic Norway - Kirkenes and Karasjok.
