Frequently Asked Questions:

DO WE NEED TO BRING ANY EQUIPMENT? 

Warm clothes including warm and wind proof gloves and warm shoes is all you need. However, warm clothes means socks of wool and woolen underwear, trousers and jacket that are warm and wind proof.

We have reindeer skin to sit on in the sled. We also have warm suits, foot bags and long jackets in the lavvo if you need any extra. Glasses is up to you to bring, you will be fine without it. Still, when we reach March and April and sun is strong you should bring sun glasses.

Do you do your tours in all kinds of weather? 

Absolutely! Dog sledding is even more of an experience in tough conditions. We make sure that everyone is well dressed, and we have both extra winter suits and foot bags available for rent should you need them on extra cold days, in addition to blankets for the people sitting in the sled. However, as you get going you won't really have time to get that cold, just make sure to wear some warm shoes and good socks, in addition to some good gloves and you will be fine! Should the weather somehow be too extreme (which has not happened before) we will notify you at least a day before and offer to change your scheduled time/date.

WHAT SHOULD WEAR/ DO YOU PROVIDE EXTRA CLOTHING?

We recommend warm shoes, thick and wind proof gloves and wind proof jacket and trousers. Foot bags to put over your own shoes and warm suits may be rented for nok 50,- per unit.  Also, we have some warm gloves. 

Do We control the sleds ourselves?

Yes! Unless you do not want too or are under 13 years old, then you have the option to sit in front which can be just as fun, and great for taking pictures. Those who are a bit nervous can start by sitting down, and then try to control the sled on the way back from the swapping point. Then the dogs are a bit more calm and you will have gotten a bit of a feeling for it. We are yet to experience someone who regretted trying! Still, if you cannot do steering because of disabilities, have a broken arm etc or just dont want to - it is of course perfectly ok to sit on and simply enjoy it all.

Where do we meet up?

See directions to our location at Sjusjøen here. Please meet up 10-15 minutes ahead of your time as it is very important that you are not late. In fact then you risk missing your tour.

Can I join while I am pregnant?

Yes, you can! We are not going fast and you can both steer or sit as you wish. However, as for all guests it is important to listen and do as we tell you in the instruction beforehand which is mainly about how and when to slow down.

DO YOU HAVE a pick-up service from OSLO/Lillehammer?

No, I am afraid we do no not have our own pick up service but it is possible to reach us by public transport, as described here.

For how long is my gift card valid?

Gift cards directly from us (with Sjusjøen Husky Tour logo on) is valid until you use it - as long as we are still operating! If however, you have a gift card from the company YouWish you should be in touch with us before the date that is on the gift card.

Can we bring younger children?

Our shortest tour is 15km and not recommended for children less than 7 years.

Can children go without the company of parents? 

Children under 13 years old can sit in the leader sled, the one that the guide is using. But it is more fun for the children to go on the sled that their parents are controlling! We are more of an activity for families together.

Can i change my mind? 

Of course you can! You are free to change your reservation, just please let us know as soon as possible, and preferably more than 3 days ahead of your booked tour. Same with cancellations, 3 days before we will ask for 100% of your payment as we will not have time to reallocate your sled. Se more information under or read our full terms here

How do we pay? 

If you use our online booking service, your payment will be done and over with straight away.
