Dog Sledding · Røros
How to choose

Both outings require an occasionally sporty physical level and run from November to March. The entry excursion costs 111 € for a daytime self-drive format lasting between 1.5h and 6h. For an extended overnight camping experience, the second option runs over 2 days and costs 481 €. Guiding on both outings is available in English, French, and Norwegian. Choose the shorter daytime excursion to try driving your own sled team, or select the two-day camping trip if you want an overnight dog sledding journey across the winter landscape.
