Information
We offer Dog sledding central in Norway; close to Oslo, Gol, Geilo and easily accessible from both Numedal and Hallingdal.
Come see our 35 Siberian and Alaskan huskies and experience the life of a dog musher. Langedrag offers dog sledding all-year-round and gives our guests an exclusive look at a day in the life of a musher. At Langedrag we take pride in our animals and their welfare, and the dogs are no exception. During summer, we use specialized dog sled carts to take you around the Langedrag reserve and during winter we offer extended tours up in the majestic mountains.
This is a breath-taking experience where you can help prepare them for a trip where you get to be the musher. Nothing compares to interactions between humans and animals, and this surely is a memorable first-hand experience of the life as a dog musher.
Join us from early morning and you can help to feed, clean and ready them for the tour of your choice. If you prefer, you may also come just for the ride, sit down in our sleds on warm and comfortable reindeer skins and enjoy the glorious scenery and enthusiastic huskies doing what they love the most.
All dog sledding needs pre-ordering. We can customize tours for you and your party. Our sleds are also customizable for different handicaps and the limitations are few. Please call us at

Tour 1, The Langedragtour

One of our experienced mushers will always ride with you or in a sledge in front to ensure a safe and fun experience. When ready, we will take off into the close surroundings of Langedrag, it is highly probably that you will see the arctic foxes, reindeer, horses or other free roaming animals as we enter the exceptional nature around the park.

Tour 3, A day of adventure and excitement!
This is the ultimate experience for all outdoor enthusiasts and dog lovers. If you enjoy a good challenge or if you're a photo enthusiast, this is a must do during the winter! It must be said that this trip is the most demanding one, and offers personal challenge and fulfillment. But even so, we have a professional and experienced staff with you all the way so that you can take your family and friends with you to share this exceptional experience.
We start the day at the cafeteria with breakfast and initiation, where we also pack lunches and go over the personal equipment requirements. Please remember that the Norwegian winter is cold and dress suitably in warm clothes and shoes. From there, we are one cohesive "dog sled team" and together we walk down to the kennel or the "lean to", to prepare the dogs and equipment for an unforgettable journey in the wilderness surrounding Langedrag. This trip gives you all of what the other tours offer, plus a whole lot more in-depth experience of what it takes to be a musher. It is optional if you want to run your own sledge, or if you want to ride with one of our experienced mushers - there will be plenty of time to change your mind during the day.
We will be mushing up the mountains for some spectacular scenery and stop at several viewpoints so that you can capture the moment and see the great surroundings of Langedrag. Depending on the weather, we will eat lunch under the open sky or at a cabin. Here we will also provide more details of what it takes to become a musher, some history of dog sledding in Norway, and the heritage of the Alaskan and Siberian husky breed. After lunch, we will continue the trip and start our descent toward Langedrag. Come prepared to be moved by a one-in-a-million exclusive experience that few get the opportunity to see and feel – life-changing moments that are priceless.
