Remote. Real. Arctic living.

Welcome to Holmen Husky Lodge — one of Europe’s top dog sledding kennels, just 10 minutes from Alta and 15 from the airport. A place where deep snow, northern lights, and world-class huskies come together for something unforgettable.

Why Holmen?

Holmen is more than a lodge — it’s a small Arctic world of its own. Located in quiet farm country just outside Alta, you’re surrounded by open fields, forests, and the kind of stillness most people have never felt.

In summer, cows and sheep wander freely through the green landscape. In winter, the skies darken and explode with aurora. There’s no light pollution, no rush — just a sense that life moves more naturally out here.

This is what we call Arctic living:
next to nothing, close to everything.
