About the activity

South of Tromsø, the Malangen Fjord region is known for its breathtaking natural landscapes, including authentic villages, rugged mountains and picturesque valleys. To enjoy this incredible setting in winter while having fun, the Run Wild Mushing team awaits you in Mestervik to take you on a dog sledding excursion at the Malangen Fjord! What could be better than setting off on an adventure in the company of adorable Alaskan huskies who will be delighted to exert themselves by pulling your sled through the snow-covered trails of the region?

The experience begins directly at the team's kennel, located just 1.5 km from the shores of the fjord. There you will meet not only the experienced musher who will guide you throughout the activity, but also your team of 4 to 6 dogs, who are great athletes participating in Europe's longest dog sled race: Finnmarkslopet (1,200 km). You will be in good company for your adventure, supervised by mushing professionals who will be delighted to share their passion with you! You will also have the pleasure of helping the guide harness your new four-legged companions to your sled, as well as unharnessing them and rewarding them once the excursion is over, allowing you to immerse yourself completely in the activity.

Depending on the option you choose, you will set off for a 30-minute or 1-hour dog sled ride at Malangen Fjord, with the opportunity to swap places between driver and passenger along the way (driving is only possible for those aged 16 and over). Following the guide, you will enjoy this small group excursion on the trails around the kennel in the heart of the snow-covered forest. Between the sublime winter landscapes and the unique sensations of the sled, you will experience unforgettable moments on this dog sledding excursion at Malangen Fjord!

Run by true lovers of sled dogs, the Run Wild Mushing kennel offers you one of the most incredible experiences in the world of mushing in Norway. You will be accompanied by dogs that are perfectly at ease, with plenty of space at their disposal to run around once the excursion is over. So if you want to discover dog sledding near Tromsø and you have your own transport, don't wait any longer to join Run Wild Mushing near Malangen Fjord!

We had an amazing morning with the dogs. Tessa introduced us to all the wonderful huskies when we arrived and we got loads of cuddle time. Then we helped get them ready for the ride. It was really wholesome to see how excited all the dogs got before we set off. The sledding itself was incredible! We went through woods and open snow fields. You couldn’t help be impressed by the dogs amazing capabilities and the breathtaking scenery. The perfect start to our day.
