How to dress properly for Norwegian winter

April, 12, 2018 | Travel in Norway

Dog driving is a sport where the level of physical activity varies a lot. Sometimes the dogs will need assistance from the driver(s), by kicking or even pushing the sled up steeper parts of the trail. In order to get the best out of the experience, we recommend you to follow these advices about clothing:

  • Inner layer: Use a breathable material. We recommend wool or fleece. (Never cotton!)
  • Then, a thicker layer.
  • Finally, a layer of windproof material. (when mild weather conditions even waterproof)
  • Woolen sock, preferably two pairs.
  • Use warm winter boots. The boots shouldn’t be tight, as the warm air between your feet and the boot material is the key to keep your feet warm!
  • Use quality warm and windproof hat and mittens (warmer that finger gloves).
  • Snow goggles
