Dog Sledding · Alta
How to choose
Two genuine dog sledding tours run in Alta, both lasting 4h and operated by Æventyr. The entry option takes you across the Gargia Valley for 300 €, offering a 4-hour dog sledding trip. If you want to steer the team yourself, choose the self-drive dog sledding excursion at 303 €, which is rated as “Occasionally sporty” and meets at Markedsgata 6. Note that a kennel visit under the Northern Lights is also available at 157 €, but it is purely a visit without any sled ride. For hands-on driving, book the 303 € self-drive tour. For a standard excursion, select the Gargia Valley outing.
