Husky Expedition Norway: Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Alta
Once you arrive in Alta you will be collected from either the airport or city centre and taken the short distance out to the farm. Once you have dropped off your belongings and had a chance to freshen up, you will receive comprehensive instructions on handling your dog sled before heading out on a short practise run to give you the opportunity to practise your skills.
After a delicious dinner you will be able to take an evening dip in the outdoor Jacuzzi or warm up in the sauna. Overnight accommodation will be in one of the special lavvo tents that are furnished with a double bed, woodstove for heating and a special ceiling window so that you may keep an eye out for a glimpse of the Northern Lights.

Days 2 - 4: The husky expedition through Norway begins
After a hearty breakfast you will be setting out on your amazing dog sledding tour. Overnight accommodation during the tour will be in mountain cabins in the wilderness.
With your knowledgeable guide leading you, each day you can expect to drive your husky team around 30 km through the snowy countryside, stopping for lunch or breaks by an open fire, or perhaps taking part in some side activities. Each evening you will spend time taking care of your dogs and showing them affection for their hard work, before relaxing with dinner, drinks and great conversation about your day.
Days 5 - 6: Back to civilisation
On day five you will travel back to your pickup point where you and your husky team and equipment will be transferred back to Holmen Husky Lodge to eat a final dinner and reminisce about your amazing experience. Stay overnight in the lodge to prepare you for your journey home. Finally, on day six you will enjoy a filling breakfast before transferring back to Alta, taking with you many amazing memories of your husky sledding adventures in beautiful Norway.
Group Size:
6 – 12 people
Accommodation:
On the HuskyFarm you will be housed a Tipi Bungalow. This is equipped with a double bed, fireplace, and window front. The toilet and showers are outside the accommodation (toilets approx. 20 m away and take a shower about 50 m away). Depending on availability, accommodation in the Arctic Dome Suite is also possible. Please note that the wildlife hut has no running water and electricity during the Husky expedition and this is a joint accommodation. The price refers to the accommodation per person based on an occupancy of two persons.
Additional Information:
The safety of our guests and animals is our top priority on all of our tours. The far north can have fluctuating and unpredictable weather with very strong temperature differences. Whilst we strive to follow the planned trails as closely as possible, we reserve the right to change the order of activities, the route of safaris, and the intensity of the excursions should the needs of our guests or animals necessitate it, or if the weather conditions compromise our pre-planned route. This involves both adjustments due to insufficient snow (meaning we cannot drive the sleds) or too much snow (snowstorms and extreme cold can cause accidents and various other problems). The required adjustments and fallback options in rare cases are based on the day-to-day conditions and can be compensated by shorter or longer daily stages, alternative accommodations, or even single day trips. In extremely rare cases we may organise alternative transport (ie. cars, quad bikes, etc). Feel free to contact us if you would like a more detailed assessment of this tour and travel period. The service providers and tour providers always perform their services in compliance with and in accordance with the official requirements and requirements applicable at the time of stay. For this reason, corona-related reasonable usage rules or restrictions may arise when using said services. Please note these official requirements (Google Translate).

Habe ein wunderschönes Wochenende dort verbracht. Die Betreuung seitens der Guides war sehr gut. Der Umgang mit den Hunden und das Fahren mit dem Schlitten wurde uns erklärt. Vermisst habe ich, dass wir im wesentlichen hintereinander her gefahren und dem Leitschlitten gefolgt sind. Kommandos zur Steuerung des Hundeteams haben wir nicht erhalten. Dennoch kommen Hundefreunde voll auf ihre Kosten. Die Unterbringung in der Lodge war angenehm, Tipis, Aufenthaltsräume, Sanitäranlagen, Sauna machen einen neuen und gut gepflegten Eindruck und machen den Aufenthalt angenehm. Das Personal ist aufmerksam und sehr freundlich. Einziger wirklicher Kritikpunkt: Das Essen. Der ganztägige Aufenthalt an der frischen Luft macht hungrig und die wirklich schmackhaft zubereiteten Speisen wurden in Mengen serviert, die sicherlich die meisten Teilnehmer hungrig vom Tisch aufstehen ließen.
