We did the 4 day experience and loved every minute. Definitely a ‘Happy Place’. We were assigned a team of pups who we bonded with over the 4 days. We harnessed, unharnessed, fed them, and they enthusiastically pulled us 16 miles to the lodge and back.  We enjoyed our time with Rasmus, Niklas, and the whole team  at Holmen Husky.  A well run organization.  We miss them all! ❤️

Holmen Husky made our list of one of our top experiences.

Really fabulous experience, a well organised, well run establishment, approachable knowledgeable guides with a wealth of information about their sport, their history and, most of all, their dogs whom they knew individually, by name with all their personalities and idiosyncracies. 
The dogs were all friendly, well cared for and much loved, happy to pull us through a beautiful wooded trail with their 'musher' guiding the sled and explaining the commands he uses and the mechanics of the sled. A thoroughly enjoyable few hours, a lot of fun and great memories.
We were lucky enough to be in Alta for the start of the 'Finnmark' sled race, many congratulations to Brage Nilsen Jaeger on a great result.

A brilliant introdution to dog sledding.

Got the husky tour from my girlfriend for my birthday. 
We went on the 25th of February. What an awesome experience! 
Great staff, beautiful dogs and very keen to work but well behaved! 
We had good weather so it made the experience 100% perfect. 10.5km tour with a driver change at the halfway point. After the tour lots of time to cuddle with the dogs, got a small snack and thea/coffee to warm up whilst getting to know more about the company and dogs. After that some more cuddling with the dogs and before we knew our time was up so we had to change clothing and said goodbye!

I recommend this to everyone who wants to do a husky sled tour!
Thanks for having us and we enjoyed our time there!

Great experience to do with loved ones!

Wonderful day with the fluffy team and our guide , thanks a lot <3
Team members are very nice and they want you to spent a magical moment, the huskies are so well cared for and spoiled.

I recommend a lot :)

Wonderful day

Welcoming is nice, thanks to the team 
Great experience with the dogs. We can enjoyed their proximity safely ! 
The husky’s are beautiful 
Artic cabins was really one unique experience to see in your bed the stars in the sky ! (unfortunately we haven’t see boreales aurora. 
The area is very calm, original and totally connection with the nature. We strongly recommend !

Discover the Norway with the huskies

We have been to Alaska in the summer and spent time with Alaskan Husk8es, so to get the chsnce to sledge with them in Noreay was a must. This was the best excusrion we have ever had. The inspirational story of the Lodges owner is fantastic and quite emotional. To walk, interact and ride with these amazing, lovimg and hard working animals was breathtaking. We had a sled ride for about 5km (thier training run), then cuddles... a sit in a traditional tee pee with roaring fire, and tea, then a 15minute film about the owner and his story.. we will be back.. absolutley first class.

A lifetime dream

Wonderful experience staying in a (unexpectedly) warm lavvo surrounded by a 100 friendly huskies. We had a good night’s sleep and everything was great. We also did a husky sled that was really nice. The staff here is very nice and you can tell they love what they do.

Happy Huskies and Lovely Lavvo Stay

It’s impossible to communicate in a review just how much fun this place is.  We went only for dogsledding but you can also stay there in cabins.  First we watched a film about the owner and his family who are champion competitive mushers. Then we got on our sleds for the sweetest and at the same time most insane ride through the woods. It was SO MUCH FUN.
After that a snack and hot drink in front in a warm fire in a lavvu. Then we got to go and meet and play with the dogs. 
The whole experience was wonderful. Everyone who worker ther was great, especially our musher, Peter, from Denmark. If you have the opportunity, don’t miss this

Don’t Miss This Experience

Highly recommended! Exceeded all expectations. This remarkable team manages accommodation, meals, activities and extra facilities (sauna etc) all while caring for over 100 beautiful, friendly dogs. When you stay there, you feel like a part of the team/family/pack. 

Dogsledding was extremely fun, and in the middle of winter the landscape was stunning. Big thank you to Tess for making us feel safe and confident on the sled and also for being excellent and inspiring company while sipping tea in the lavvu afterwards. 

We stayed one night in the dome, which was a really unique experience: very comfortable and with a clear view of the sky (we were lucky to catch the northern lights!) We also enjoyed the sauna/jacuzzi in the evening and had a relaxing time in and around the lodge. 

Another big thank you to Andrei for making everything run smoothly, preparing delicious meals and having excellent fireside chats.

Final note: for this trip we booked one of their packages, which included activities/accommodation in other venues, which I have reviewed separately (e.g. Sorrisniva Ice Hotel). However I must compliment the Holmen team for arranging/confirming schedules, transport and connections for the entire package. Everything worked perfectly, always on time, and always with a smile.

Unforgettable!

I’m  an experienced traveller and not into doing all the cliched tourist activities, but it was an amazing experience spending the morning with Holmen Husky. I highly recommend anyone staying in Alta to pay them a visit. The host were great and the dog sledding experience was awesome
