Arctic Challenge Varanger
Dog sledding and Arctic adventures in Varanger
About Arctic Challenge Varanger
Arctic Challenge Varanger AS is based in Vestre Jakobselv in Varanger, far north in Finnmark. The core of the offering is dog sledding – in small groups with authentic sled dogs and experienced mushers – far from mass tourism. You can choose everything from a short Discovery Ride of around 4 km and a day trip of approximately 20 km where you drive your own team, to a two-day micro-expedition with overnight stays in a mountain cabin and the seven-day Arctic Challenge expedition. Guests learn to harness, couple and care for the dogs – a genuine mushing experience. During winter the trips are supplemented with dog trekking, ice fishing, ski-joring and snowmobile, often with a chance to see the Northern Lights. The company operates a remote mountain cabin as a base and offers hiking with huskies and fishing trips in summer. Arctic Challenge Varanger AS was founded in 2025 and is located in Tana municipality.
