The Perfect Winter Day – Dog Sledding, Snow Play, and Bonfire Fun!

23/02/2025

Have you ever experienced a true Norwegian Sunday outing? The kind of day where time slows down, laughter flows freely, and the most important thing isn't how quickly you move but to soak in the crisp air and enjoying the compay of others.
This is the day for anyone who wants to experience the true essence of a Norwegian winter—stress-free, filled with play, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Whether you're coming alone or with family and friends, we promise an experience that will warm your heart long after the day is over. 

Dog Sledding, Snow Play, and Bonfire Fun! 

Leaving our transport behind, we walk towards Camp Bymarka, where we divide into smaller groups so that everyone has the chance to try a little bit of everything. Some will feel the thrill of dog sledding as energetic huskies pull you through a fairy-tale winter landscape. Others will strap on snowshoes and embark on a mini adventure through the snow.

Enjoy a day in the snow 

We begin our day together as we disembark and head into Camp Bymarka, where we break into smaller groups so everyone gets to try a little bit of everything. Some will feel the thrill of dog sledding as energetic huskies pull you through an enchanting winter landscape, while others lace up snowshoes and set off on a mini adventure in the forest—perhaps even discovering the perfect clearing to make snow angels along the way. After all, what's a proper winter day without an old-fashioned snowball fight or the joy of diving into the soft snow to create those childhood-inspired snow angels? On this trip, play and connection take center stage—no screens, no rush, just pure winter delight.

To truly enjoy a day in the snow, dressing properly is key. Layer up so you can easily adjust your temperature as you switch between activities. Start with a good wool sweater as your base layer, add an insulating mid-layer, and top it off with a windproof jacket to keep you warm and comfortable. Don't forget warm socks, a snug hat, and reliable gloves—and consider packing an extra pair of gloves and a dry sweater in your backpack, just in case. There's nothing quite like the feeling of changing into something dry and cozy after an active, frosty adventure!

The essence of being outdoors isn't about battling the elements, but rather harmonizing with them. When we dress right, take the time to appreciate our surroundings, and enjoy the natural rhythm of the day, we create the very best memories. Dressing well, packing smart, and embracing the moment leads to an unforgettable winter experience.

Moments together 

Sharing these moments together is not just fun in the moment—it forges strong bonds and creates lasting memories. Research shows that shared experiences in nature can strengthen both family ties and friendships. Whether it's an exhilarating dog sledding tour, a peaceful snowshoe hike, or a quiet pause around the fire, there's a magic in coming together that shields us from everyday distractions. We build a collective story, filled with smiles and laughter: "Remember the time we dove into the snow until our stomachs hurt?" or "That day around the fire with cold fingers, warm cocoa, and the sound of dogs barking in the background?"

When our cheeks grow rosy and our legs start to feel tired, we gather around the fire pit inside our Lavvo. There's something uniquely comforting about the glow of the flames, the crisp winter air, and a cup of steaming hot cocoa—or perhaps even a bling or a sausage in hand. As we share stories and laugh over the day's little moments, we savor the tranquility of nature. Even as some continue their dog sledding adventures, others enjoy simply being together, soaking in the present moment.

This is the day for anyone who wants to experience the true essence of a Norwegian winter—stress-free, filled with play, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Whether you're coming alone or with family and friends, we promise an experience that will warm your heart long after the day is over.

These are the moments we cherish—experiences that embrace sustainable travel and bring people together to share laughter and joy. Join us and connect with nature on an unforgettable day in Bymarka! With warm greetings, The Guide Team at Trondheim by Foot
