A
Alaskan Husky Tours
In winter, Alaskan Husky Tours organises two-hour excursions by dog-sled (adult/child/12-18-year-old Nkr590/190/290) or horse-drawn sleigh (Nkr600 per hour for four people); in summer dog-cart trips offer an all-you’ll-get-at-this-time-of-year substitute. Its office is in Os, 22km southwest of Røros, but reservations can be made at the tourist office in Røros. You can also join a winter day trip to the Southern Sami tent camp at Pinstitjønna, 3km from Røros, where you’ll dine on reindeer and learn such unique skills as ice-fishing and axe-throwing. The three-hour tour costs around Nkr500 per person (minimum 10 people).

Hummelfjellet Alpine Centre
Hiking (and, in winter, nordic skiing ) possibilities abound across the semiforested Røros plateau; ask the tourist office for advice. Note, however, that many areas remain covered in snow well into the summer. Hummelfjellet Alpine Centre, 16km south of Røros, has two lifts and six slopes.
