🍂 Live the autumn season alongside the huskies in Northern Norway 🐕 Autumn is when the mountains change colour, the air turns crisp, and the dogs begin training for winter. At in Målselv, you can become part of that everyday rhythm, surrounded by nature and a pack of 35 Alaskan huskies.

During 6 days and 5 nights, you’ll stay at the husky farm and experience the season up close. The days are shaped by the weather and conditions, and may include:

🐾 Dog sledding on wheels and training with your own dog team
🥾 Hiking through colourful autumn forests and mountains
🛶 Canoeing on the Målselva River
🏔️ An overnight stay in a mountain cabin, with the dogs joining the adventure
🔥 Meals and quiet moments around the fire
🧖 Evenings in a wood-fired sauna
🌌 And perhaps the first Northern Lights of the season above the mountains

This is more than a meeting with the huskies. It’s a few days immersed in life on a small dog farm in the north with time for the dogs, the landscape and the people you share the experience with.
