Activity description

Experience your husky tour with Husky Point Røros AS!

Located in Os i Østerdalen, Norway, 25 minutes drive from the UNESCO world heritage town of Røros, and a 3-hour drive south of Trondheim.

You'll be welcomed by, Frode and Øydis, around 80 Alaskan huskies. We speak Norwegian and English, and - depending on current volunteers - also for example Dutch, German or French.

There you can expect the most amazing weather conditions for mushing or dog sledding.

The crew offers you tours in which you'll cross the breathtaking mountains of the Røros region. During this amazing excursion, you'll get to command your own team of loyal huskies. At all times you'll lead by one of Husky Point's professional guides. The sled has a capacity for two people, so you can share the experience, and the command, with a partner!

The tour includes a break in which you'll gather around a bonfire and have some coffee and cake. That'll be the perfect moment to soak in all the beauty of the wild north and have some quality time with the dogs!

If you are looking for a more intense mushing trip, you can opt for an overnight excursion. This trip will give extra time with the dogs so you can really get to know them. Also, you'll be able to ride the sled longer. When night arrives, you'll spend the night in a winter cabin.

This is, by far, one of the most authentic wilderness experiences you can have in Norway!
