Tromsø & Beyond

Day 1: Arrival in Tromsø

Arrival at Tromsø Airport, transfer (not included) to the centre of Tromsø and check-in at your hotel. The rich history of this city has earned it two nicknames. The first is the “Paris of the North” due to the numerous trade relations with France during the 19th century and the number of cafes and bars. The second is the “Gateway to the Arctic”, since it was for many decades the heart of Arctic hunting and the starting point for the most legendary expeditions.

Accommodation in Tromsø 3*.

Day 2: Dog sledding

Breakfast at the hotel. You will depart in the morning (25-minute transfer, included) for a dog sledding excursion. Harnessed in pairs per sled (one driver, one passenger), you will traverse magnificent landscapes! If conditions do not allow, you will automatically be seated in the sled instead of driving. Warm clothing is provided and you will have the opportunity to visit the kennel with the young puppies. Afterwards, a Sami meal will be served under a traditional tent, with coffee and homemade cake. Return to Tromsø (transfer included).
