It was a really good day dog sledding. The dogs were well cared for and trained. The organiser Holly was very helpful. The scenery was beautiful and the lunch traditional Norwegian. Snow suits were provided and I was easily able to do this activity. We both had a great time

We had the most amazing experience in spite of the crazy wind and snowy weather! The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and welcoming.
