We went dog-sledding with Activenorth while staying in Skibotn. We took it in turns to drive the wooden sled with a team of four amazing huskies. The trek was very well organised and the handlers/guides gave clear instructions and lots of interesting information about the dogs and the area.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience dog sledding with Active North. The dogs were so excited to run. You could tell they loved what they were doing. The area that we were in was beautiful. The guides explained everything well, and we had a great time. The reindeer soup afterwards was delicious. Highly recommend!
Active North are very kind people that offered us possibility to do the tour even when the official season was closed. We had amazing experience on snowmobile at the night tour. Really recommand and for sure we will come back for more advantures.
Had an amazing sledding trip with this company a few days ago. The trip was very well organised, the guides were great at giving instructions and gave us plenty time for photos with the dogs and the trip ran very smoothly. The views across the valley and frozen lake were spectacular 😊 it was a once in a lifetime experience I would highly recommend this company!! 🛷😆
Such a fun trip sledding with active north. The guides were really helpful, friendly and informative. The views from the sledding trip was amazing. We got to meet and pet the dogs after too which was a highlight 😊 …
Great experience with snowmobile and husky rides. Little far Tromso but geographically a good location to get clear skies for northern lights

We are a family business.
ActiveNorth is a family-run business based in Skibotn, Norway, where we live on our family farm. Our journey began in 2007 with one dog, Grace, and has grown to a pack of 30. Since 2008, we’ve been sharing the excitement of dog sledding with visitors, and this year we’re thrilled to welcome you to our own backyard.
With years of experience, including nine completions of the world’s longest 8-dog race, our dogs have proven their resilience in even the harshest conditions. For us, dog sledding is a true family affair, with our children always part of the adventure.

Yes! We welcome solo travelers. You can join one of our group tours and meet fellow adventurers along the way, or we can arrange a private tour if you prefer a more personalized experience
How far in advance should I book my tour?
To ensure availability, especially during peak season, we recommend booking at least 3 to 6 months in advance. However, we often have last-minute spots, so it’s always worth checking with us!
