Often chosen to escape rising heatwaves and overtourism, coolcations are certainly on the rise – and expected to only grow in upcoming years as the effects of climate change continue to impact the world around us. One company currently championing the refreshing revolution of coolcations is Activenorth, a family-run business based in Skibotn Valley of Northern Norway. We heard more from Tomas Nyheim Lambela below, Owner of Activenorth, as the company is recognised in the Scandinavian Business Awards 2025.

In fact, Activenorth has established itself as a go-to destination for tourists seeking a refreshing coolcation jampacked with unique and memorable experiences. This is demonstrated in the sheer volume of glowing testimonials, left by guests eager to return to the company named Northern Norway’s Best Family-Run Arctic Adventure Company 2025. One guest wrote: “I had an amazing sledding trip with Activenorth a few days ago. The trip was very well organised; the guides were great at giving instructions and gave us plenty time for photographs with the dogs, and the trip ran very smoothly. The views across the valley and frozen lake were spectacular. It was a once in a lifetime experience – I would highly recommend Activenorth.” While one said: “From the stunning scenery, the great food and service, and amazing dogsledding experience, this is not a trip to be missed. The drive from Tromsø is along beautiful fjords. We were able to meet the dogs and drive our own sleds through the forests, as well as riding snowmobiles. Tomas was accommodating, and everything was provided. We would definitely recommend!” Another reported: “An unforgettable experience with Activenorth! From the first moment, the owners made us feel at home: friendly, attentive, and very professional. We went on a dogsled tour and another on a snowmobile, and everything was spectacular. The dogs are very well cared for, they are affectionate, and you can tell that they are treated with a lot of love. The landscapes are brutally beautiful, like pictures from a postcard. Lunch was a treat too! We really enjoyed it and will definitely be back. Highly recommended!” And a final guest commented: “This warm, family-run business offers snowmobile and dogsledding adventures that are of a superb standard of quality. Tomas Nyheim Lambela and his gorgeous family are handson with all activities and are generous with their time and knowledge. They take care about the little things, such as clean, warm clothing, well-maintained snowmobiles, and healthy, cared-for huskies.
