We are a small family-run farm and dog kennel idyllically located by the Alta River, surrounded by magnificent nature and rich history. We have been involved in dog sledding and farm operations for many years.
Dog sledding with a sled or cart is a unique and close-to-nature experience where you walk closely with nature and the eager dogs in front of the sled. With the wind in your face and the sound of paws on the ground, we take you through the wilderness.
With us you will not only feel the speed and excitement, but also meet the dogs, learn about their training and stories about everyday life and racing. Whether you are a beginner or an adventurous explorer, this is an experience you will not soon forget!
On the farm you can greet sheep, lambs, puppies and calves, or join walks along the river and learn about the farm’s exciting past – from salmon farming and war history to the adventures of the Finnmarksløpet.
End your visit with warm waffles in our gapahuk, and experience real farm life and a living history that stretches back over 170 years.
