Husky safari in Norwegian Lapland

Join Sven Engholm, the 11 time champion of Europe’s longest husky race and his eager huskies for a 4 day long winter break. Enjoy an all action adventure in the unspoilt nature of Norwegian Lapland.

Engholm’s Husky Lodge is located in the heart of Norwegian Lapland next to the Karasjohka river. Sven has built the log cabins himself and they ooze charm and cosiness. During your stay at Husky Lodge you do two day-trips. One day is left for leisure when you can relax or maybe try one of the optional activities. The tour includes full board so you are sure to treat your taste buds with Norwegian delicacies!

This tour is suitable for first-timers as well as more experienced husky mushers. Most participants are rather adventurous people who relish the chance to learn new skills and like to live life to the fullest. Neither age nor gender is a barrier - all have equal qualifications for handling the dogsleds. The guides will match the number of huskies in your team with your strength. You don’t have to be exceptionally fit or strong to be able to drive your own sledge. If you for some reason do not want to drive your own dog-team, you can ride comfortably wrapped in reindeer skin in the guide's sled.

There’s no better way of seeing the unspoilt nature of Finnmark than behind a husky sledge!
