About

Merete and Espen turned their dream of part-time dog sledding into reality when they founded their company in April 2019. With a loving pack of 18 huskies, they offer authentic dog sledding experiences and tourist rides in scenic Rauland.

We offer year-round excitement: Dog sledding on snow in the winter, and dog mushing with wheeled carts on dry land during summer and autumn. Whether you are a beginner or looking for a full-day mountain tour, we have a package for you.
