I recently had the pleasure of experiencing dog sledding with Aurora Alps, and it was absolutely incredible! The team was professional, the dogs were amazing, and the scenery was breathtaking. Driving the sled myself was a thrilling highlight. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure in the snow!

Patrick_K, Jan 2025
The staff was very friendly and had a very good knowledge of the dogs’ personalities rather than just their names. Several of the participants made frequent mistakes (not breaking correctly, etc) despite well articulated instructions, which unfortunately caused a lot of stops along the way. However, it was still a great experience overall!

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you, Patrick, for your review! 😊 We're glad to hear that you had a great experience and that our staff's deep knowledge of the dogs stood out to you—it’s something we truly take pride in! 🐾 We appreciate your patience with the occasional stops along the way. Dog sledding can have a learning curve, especially for beginners, but we’re happy to hear that you still enjoyed the adventure overall. Hopefully, next time, you'll get an even smoother ride! ❄️🐕✨ Thanks again for your feedback, and we’d love to welcome you back for another Arctic adventure! 🚀

No snow. No problem

Geraldine_J, Nov 2024
No snow but still got to go. Instead of sleds we used buggies with tires. It was great. Everyone is friendly and the dogs love the attention.

Unforgettable Adventure with Amazing Dogs and an Incredible Team

Nina_T, Nov 2024
We had an unforgettable experience with the dogs! The entire adventure, from the thrilling ride to getting to know each dog and giving them some well-deserved pets afterward, was just incredible. The dogs were so friendly and full of energy, and it was clear how much they love what they do. The team was equally amazing—so welcoming and knowledgeable. They truly made the experience special. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and heartwarming adventure with great people and wonderful dogs 👌

Amazing experience with well cared-for dogs

Lara_M, Mar 2024
We really enjoyed the well organised trip. The busdrive itself takes a while but is more than worth it as you can see alot from the countryside. Very good instructions on how to behave on the dogsled, very warm clothes. The sledding in small groups of 4 sleds was in a breathtaking landscape. Aferwards we could cuddle the healthy and very happy dogs and had some nice cake and hot drinks in the tent with a bonfire. The dogs in this camp are in a very good condition (they do get training in summer aswell) and all of the lovely stuff do behave very responsible.

Excellent fun with the dogs

Allan_H, Feb 2024
A great few hours. Lucky with the weather. The dogs & instructors were superb. Highly recommend this trip

I would do it again in a heart beat!!! Everyone should!

Celeste_C, Feb 2024
I loved that all the dogs were so happy and behaved very well! The scenery was outstanding and driving the dog sled was very easy! The guide was a good teacher!

Sehr schöne Schlittenfahrt in toller Landschaft

Roland_M, Nov 2024
Das junge und sehr nette Team von Aurora Alps hat uns sehr gut betreut, angefangen von dem Transfer mit vielen Infos und unterhaltsamen Anekdoten zu Land und Leuten sowie zur Stadt Tromsö, der Kleiderausgabe Vorort und Einweisung am Schlitten, über die Betreuung während der Schlittenfahrt und dem Hundestreicheln bis hin zum Kaffee, Tee und Kuchen am Holzfeuer im Tipi danach, wo wir viel über die Hunde und das Camp erfahren durften. Die Schlittentour führte durch ein wunderschönes Gebiet im Schnee. Auf der Rückfahrt von Breiviskeidet gab es noch als Zugabe Delfine im Fjord zu sehen. Daumen hoch.

Superbe expérience

Excellente excursion. Les explications de la guide étaient très complètes. Nous avons fait une ballade de plus d’une heure 30 et avons pu passer encore un bon moment avec les chiens après la promenade. À faire sans hésiter
