Private Husky Dog Sled Expedition in Gargia Valley

Mush your own team of Arctic huskies through snow-blanketed Finnmark wilderness on a private 4-hour expedition. This is the quintessential Alta bucket-list moment — raw, wild, and completely unforgettable.

What to expect

You are introduced to your team of Alaskan and Siberian huskies before harnessing them yourself under guide supervision. The trail winds through ancient spruce forest and frozen river valleys on the Finnmarksvidda plateau. At a wilderness rest stop, you warm up with hot drinks and get to know the dogs up close. The return journey lets more experienced guests take the reins solo.
