A car picked up the group in downtown Tromsø. The driver was very nice and stopped at a few places along the way so we could take pictures. When we arrived at the base, a delicious meal was waiting for us. I am a vegetarian with gluten intolerance and was surprised by my meal! Everything was perfect. We set off on a snowshoe tour! It was a wonderful experience with a very positive guide. On the way back, we had a very pleasant break. We were welcomed with snacks and hot drinks. Dinner also surprised me, and then it was time to go to Lavvo. The experience is sensational, and I highly recommend it.

Super cool experience to sled with the dogs! Both driving and being the co-driver so you can take pictures was very special! You got good clothes and shoes, clear instructions and driving was easy.

It’s a really good experience, dogs are very cute and friendly, and worth for money, totally drove 1 hour, the view is so nice
