Dog Sledding · Jondal
How to choose
Two self-drive dog sledding outings operate on Folgefonna Glacier from November to March, both led by Folgefonna Husky Camp with guidance in English and Norwegian. Both options require an “Occasionally sporty” fitness level and start from the same meeting spot. The essential difference comes down to duration and format. If you want a focused taste of driving your own team, the 4-hour excursion costs 353 €. For an immersive journey combining sled driving with an overnight stay, the 2-day camping excursion costs 625 €. Choose the half-day tour for a straightforward glacier drive, or commit to the 2-day option if you want to extend the experience with an overnight camp.
