Husky Mushing Experience in Norway's Mountains

This five-day winter trip combines a few peaceful days in Beitostølen with a compact husky adventure in the Norwegian mountains. Learn about the work of sled dogs and steer your own husky team on a tour into the wilderness - usually in pairs on a tandem sled. You will spend one night in a traditional cabin, getting up close to nature and embracing a simpler way of life. You will take on tasks that are part of everyday mushing life, from harnessing the dogs and looking after them on the trails to heating the cabin with fire wood or fetching water in a lake or river.
