Instead of a cab or a stretch limo, passengers arriving at the Kirkenes Airport can hop on a Husky-pulled sled to the Kirkenes Snowhotel.
During the 45-minute trek, guests are given a scenic tour of the Nordic surroundings, reported English-language paper The Local.
The service is backed by the country’s defense services, local municipality and reindeer authorities and costs 2,300 NOK or $370 USD.
Dog-sledding activities are popular among hotels in northern climes like Norway, Sweden and Quebec, which attract hardy, fearless winter lovers.
