Up for a trip far into the ice? Enter the glacier in this hand caved ice tunnel by the foot of Galdhøpiggen. Filled with ice sculptures inspired by Norse mythology. A qualified guide will tell you about permafrost, faun, animals living in the highland and the ancient artifacts found in this area going back to the stone age. Arrows, shoes and hunting equipent – melted out from snow drifts in Jotunheimen – are displayed in the ice walls. The ice tunnel also has a cinema hall where you can see a movie of the making of the tunnel. The trip starts at the parking lot by Juvasshytta right next to Galdhøpiggen, and follows a kilometer-long footbridge to the ice tunnel. The tour is accessible for most people and nice for children in school age. After your visit in the ice tunnel, you can take a close look at the Juvbrean glacier. Dress warmly and get an experience for life!

Dog sledding is for everyone. You don't need any experience since our dogs are used to beginners and our guides are professional. You can just look forward to an amazing ride through a beautiful landscape, where the only sound you will hear is the breathing and eagerness of the dogs. We recommend an age limit of 3 yrs. Kids between 3 and 12 can come along on a halv-day tour if it's not too cold. We normally have 2 persons per sled - one driver and one sitting in the front. Smaller children can sit with an adult. We have blankets and reindeer skin to keep you warm. Before we start, you get aquainted with the dogs. They love their job and they love your attention. They are all Alaskan Huskys. We use our own trails that are marked for husky tours - all together approx. 150 km in total.
