To become a hero of the Arctic tale and travel across the kingdom of the Snow Queen!

The natural miracle of the Aurora Borealis and dog sledding is a perfect combination to get an unforgettable experience!
We will pick you up from your place of accommodation in Longyearbyen at 12:00 and drive to our kennel Svalbard Villmarkssenter where you will meet the dogs and our guide will get you familiar with all the necessary instructions on how to mush, build your dog team and communicate with the doggies.
It is a Dark Season going outside so that imagine, how magical and mysterious your trip will be!

When back to the kennel, there will be a warm dinner served and you will spend the night in a cozy cabin in the area of the dog yard - an authentic and unique feeling that lets you understand the Arctic lifestyle.

Turning the page of your Northern tale, the next morning you will have breakfast and can give farewell to the dogs before we transfer you back to your hotel/guesthouse in Longyearbyen at approx 11:00 am.
