Alta’s stable, cold climate and easy access to the Finnmark Mountain Plateau has made Alta a dogsledding hotspot in Europe. Mushers from all over Norway, and the rest of Europe, has settled here to be able to make a living from dogsledding. Our family joined their ranks over three decades ago and has spent the years racing and learning as much about dogsledding as possible. This knowledge is the foundation of the dogsledding trips that we offer our guests. We will take you out into the tracks where we train our race dogs into athletes, along the Alta River and the path where Europe’s best mushers race towards the finish line for the famous Finnmarksløpet. You don’t get much closer to Norway’s dogsledding culture than this. We prioritize 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. From learning about their unique personalities to mastering the art of mushing, every moment with our huskies promises to be an enriching and unforgettable experience.
