A gateway into the dog mushing mecca of Norway. The small town of Alta is home to the world’s northernmost dog sledding race - Finnmarksløpet. This race is a feat that has been around since 1981 and has steadily grown into a world-renowned lifestyle that engages thousands of people from around the world. Our family’s journey started in 1986, over three decades ago, as we began training for winter’s most beautiful adventure.
The knowledge and tradition of our family are what sets us apart. It is an addiction that runs through our bloodline, and we want to bring you into our world and show you the magic that exists in what is to us, an extraordinary life.
On this dog sledding adventure, we will take you along the very trail that Finnmarksløpet follows each year. We want to show you the world where our family has challenged themselves and lived out their passion for dog sledding here above the Arctic circle.
We prioritise intimacy and authenticity by limiting our groups to a maximum of 8 guests. This ensures that each participant receives personalised attention and ample opportunities to engage with our experienced guides. Our guides aren't just knowledgeable; they are seasoned experts in dog handling and mushing, eager to share their wealth of experience and insights with the guests.
Experience the Arctic nature with a team of Alaskan Huskies in small, intimate groups, where every journey is as unique as it is unforgettable.

What our guests say
I always wanted to do the dog sled and now I can say I did it! It was great to be able to go for this adventure, meet the dogs and find out more about them from our lovely guide. I would highly recommend to do this activity. It was great!
Fantastic experience with the dogs. They are so friendly and cuddly. They are extremely well looked after by the staff who know them all by name. This was a brilliant activity and highly recommended.
Wonderful and unforgettable experience! The dogs, the (German speaking) guide, the nature, the action, the tea around the fire and the cuddles with the amazingly friendly dogs, don't miss it!
