Dogsledding - a taster

Geilo Husky - 5 km. Drive your own team of huskies 20-25 min trip on the frozen lake in the middle of Geilo.

If you want a small taste of what dog sledding is, then you are most welcome to come to us to drive your own dog team. This is suitable for the whole family!

Within walking distance from the center of Geilo, we have a pleasant camp and a dog sledding trail that goes on the Ustedalsfjorden.

With "Dogsledding - a taster" you get instruction from experienced dogsledders before you get to try driving a dogsled all by yourself.


You will be met by a camphost who will show you how to drive the sled. You are then two guests per dog team. One sits in the sled, while the other drives. Halfway through, you can change places if you wish. We recommend everyone to try drive the sled. In front, you have one or two guides who show the way, determine the speed and help if challenges arise. When you return to camp, it's time to thank the dogs for the tour, take pictures, talk to the guides, and we have a warm fire you can sit by, and be served hot blackcurrant toddy or coffee.


Our camp host is present and can answer all dogsledding questions. You are most welcome to sit in the camp for as long as you wish, and it is possible to bring your own barbecue food. We provide barbecue sticks, and a hot fire perfect for grilling.


If you are in large groups, one group sits in the camp around the fire while the other group is out on a trip, then you switch.


This tour is suitable for everyone, including guests with various challenges or limitations. Contact Geilo Husky for arrangements at [email protected]
