Take a husky for a hike

It’s best to go to Norway in the autumn and winter for husky
sledding, but you don’t have to miss out on the husky fun in the

summer. In Kirkenes you’ll find the Kirkenes Snowhotel, which
offers husky sledding during the winter, but also caters to dog
lovers during the summer months. Here you can “rent” a personal
husky to go on a hike to the nearby mountain plateau, enjoying
the breathtaking Arctic scenery along the route.
If you haven’t had your fill of husky loving the incredible

Tromsø Widerness Centre on the island of Kvaløya houses over
250 huskies and puppies. Here you can learn more about husky
sledding and its history, as well as the longest and most intense
sled race on Earth, the Iditarod race in Alaska, world-famous for
showcasing the incredible endurance of these dogs. Afterwards
you can relax with a hot drink in the Sami lavvo (tent).
