2.Guided Husky Snowshoe Hike and Husky Camp Visit

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 555 reviews · from $175

Travel from Tromsø to a husky camp on Kvaløya for a beginner-friendly snowshoe hike with one or two working dogs. Guides lead the route according to weather and group ability, then introduce you to the wider pack and puppies. Winter gear, transport, hot drinks, cookies, and homemade chocolate cake are included.

“Very good activity. Well organised except the address on here says the wrong pick up point, go to the raddison blu. Really lovely guides and dogs. Very clean dog compounds. The hike was almost an hour uphill which almost killed me as i am very unfit, but i made it! The dogs will pull when walking as is their nature, these are working dogs, not lead trained pets. So you need to be strong and confident to take the dog. Would highly recommend. But take some water with you if unfit to keep you going. And you will get very hot when hiking unless weather is terrible. A lovely experience.…”
