Guided Tour

Find out more from your expert guide about this breathtaking natural phenomenon.

Head into the polar night

Where dark skies set the perfect stage for the dancing aurora.

Chase the Aurora and experience the magic of the Arctic on this evening husky sledding adventure.

Glide through the quiet polar night and enjoy the thrill of sledding while keeping an eye on the sky for northern lights to appear.

Your tour starts with either a pickup from your hotel in Kirkenes, or meeting up at the Snowhotel dog yard. Before heading out, your guide will provide warm clothing, safety instructions, and you'll be introduced to your husky team that will pull your sled. Two guests share each sled, driven by an experienced musher.
The trail will guide you across the frozen fjord away from all light polution. A short break at a gapahuk allows the dogs to rest and gives you time to enjoy the views and listen to stories from your guide. If the northern lights appear, we will pause to admire and photograph the display. After the tour, the sled returns to the Snowhotel camp, and your driver takes you back to your hotel in Kirkenes.

Note: Since the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, we cannot guarantee sightings during your activity.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I dress for your winter activities?

Even though we dress our excursion guests in warm and protective clothing, you should always pack warm winter clothes. Always wear several layers of warm clothing for the cold winter days.

1. Long underwear and socks in woolen or technical fabric

2. Jumper in wool or fleece, and pants in e.g. fleece or cotton

3. Thick jumper in wool or fleece, scarf, woolen socks and lined trousers, in windproof material

4. Woolen hat, winter jacket, gloves or mittens and winter shoes.

When is the winter season?

The timeline for activities may vary a bit, but mainly our winter season is from 01.12. - 20.04.

When is the best time of year for northern lights?

The northern lights appear already in the end of August, and last until early April. Meaning, the Aurora is there always, but after mid-april its too light to see them! The best period is however from September until March.
