About

Merete and Espen realized their dream of full-time dogsledding when they founded their company in April 2019. With a loving pack of 18 huskies, they offer authentic dogsledding experiences and tourist trips in scenic Rauland.

We offer excitement year-round: Dogsledding with a sled on the snow in winter, and dog-carting with a wagon on dry ground in the summer/autumn. Whether you are a beginner or looking for a full-day mountain tour, we have a package for you.
