“Honestly the best thing we did by far in Tromso. It was truly the best day. We had a minor mishap with the bus on the way and a replacement bus arrived in no time. The centre was incredible. You could tell how much they love their dogs and how well they are treated. We did a beautiful snowshoe walk with the dogs and were kept nice and warm with their snow boots and snow suits. We stopped half way for hot juice and cookies and swapped who was walking the dogs, so everyone had the chance to walk them. When we got back to the centre we learnt about…”

“I was initially skeptical about snow shoeing, but it turned out to be a good experience hiking the snow mountains. It gets cold and windy so definitely dress up in layers. Anna, our group lead tour operator is a wonderful person explaining the terrains and she was taking photos so that we don’t miss out on the good ones. Also, Pl keep the tissue handy for the runny nose ;). Overall it was around a 2 hr trail and winds made it a lil bit challenging but that’s what a hike is for. Throughly enjoyed the hike felt like an accomplishment :) A must do for an adventure seeker!”

These majestic animals were obviously well cared for and we were given ample time, food and space to enjoy this friendly herd and take many photos! Next was the snowshoe hike. Our two guides were absolutely charming. They made sure that everyone in the group felt included and were able to safely go at their own pace. The scenery was stunning and we made frequent stops at the…”

Angelina was a great guide in the walk, she was also very knowledgable. The food was very tasty. The lavvo was cosy and warm. Really recommend this activity.
