Husky Sledding Experience Along the Alta River

Join us for a wonderful experience of mushing a team of huskies through the Arctic Wilderness. We work with different local kennels and will arrange the husky sledding experience best suited to your desire. All husky experiences include learning about the huskies and the skill of mushing most effectively. You will enjoy interacting with the eager and excited huskies who love to be active and run in front of the sleds.

‍

You may chose between a tour which requires a more active participation or a tour where a more passive approach is offered. A guide is always part of the tour, but you will have your own sled and own team of huskies to lead. Each sled will have two persons where one will drive and the other will join as a passenger. Stops are made along the way where driver and passenger can swap positions. Either way you will enjoy the interaction with the huskies and the sensation of being dragged along the local wilderness trails. As part of your experience you will learn about the kennels preparation for the Finnmarksløpet, the world's Northern most sled Husky race and the second-longest in the world. This annual event starts and stops around Alta, sometimes from Sorrisniva itself.

The pick-up times can be scheduled at either 9:30 AM, 10:00 AM, or 4:30 PM, depending on the provider.
