A wise man once said that if you can walk, you can also try snowshoeing. It’s amazing how much easier it is to explore the snow-covered landscape with snowshoes. They help distribute your body weight evenly over the surface, allowing you to walk effortlessly even in deep snow. In Dimmuborgir, we are fortunate to have excellent landscape, offering endless possibilities.

Dogsledding Tour

Be a musher for a day

These dogs have a commanding presence, with their sharp barks and thick winter coats that enable them to endure harsh conditions. The energy and endurance of sled dogs are unmatched; the command “Go” often feels unnecessary as they are always in “Go” mode! They howl and leap at the sight of the musher, so hold on tight to your dog sled, or these instinctive pullers will take off without you!
