Beschreibung
Farmstay in Norway!

First of all: During these Corona times it is difficult to plan and we cant offer a payment.

You love nordic nature? Are you interested to work and help us with the husky training, the work with the tourists? Your body is fit? Then you could be the right person for our farm...Feeding of all animals and cleaning of the stable and kennels are the main work during the wintertime. Helping with preparations for Training of the Huskies and organize trips for our guests, is the second part. To be a Helper (Handler) at the races could also be a job. In summertime we work also with dogs and have some guests, but there is always to do something.

On the farm life two other helping people and me, Sometimes we have visits from my children, and familymembers and friends from Switzerland.

Looking forward to hear or read from you;0)

Vom Workawayer (Alexandra) für Host

I stayed for ca. 2 months at Andreas' farm, from mid January until mid March, so I experienced the very busy winter season. The winter season is great because you get to experience the northern winter with lots of snow and cold temperatures, and you get to drive a sled, which is probably the coolest part! I got to work with tourists that booked… read more sled tours with Andreas, which meant I was able to drive a sled multiple times a week or even a day, get lots and lots of practice, help out with the tourists, dogs etc. It was a beautiful and rewarding experience, I got to meet interesting, new people almost every week, became really comfortable driving a sled and learned so much about the dogs, a musher's lifestyle etc. Nonetheless I need to say that some days can get really really busy, so you need to be able to work long hours outside sometimes, no matter the temperatures or how tired you are. If you want to come in the winter season and work with tourists, you need to be willing to put in some effort and hard work. It pays off though ;) Other days are more relaxed, if no tourists booked a tour I was able to stay at the farm and then you only have to take care of feeding the dogs, cleaning the kennel etc. Andreas always tried to give me one day off every week or two, so you also have time to go for walks in the forest, go on longer sled tours, go skiing etc. He invited us to a whole skiing day and to multiple dinner occasions at restaurants, hotels etc. which was really kind of him. The work you do every day always evolves around the dogs, so you get to know each one of the 70 huskies and their different personalities. To me, the most beautiful part of the whole experience was connecting with the dogs, spending time with them, training with them etc. I really miss those guys now that I'm home, all the huskies Andreas owns are so friendly, loving and ready to cuddle anytime. If you're an animal lover, this is the right place for you.
So, even though I ended up with bruises all over my body because I slipped on ice more times than I can count and I ended up ruining my ski clothes with dog food and meat and dirt - I really hope I can go back to Andreas farm soon. If you're willing to learn, put in some effort and some work, you can only learn and grow at this place.

PS: Having good shoes is very, very important in the winter - if you don't, your feet will freeze. No joke

I had so many fun and memorable experiences at Andreas' farm this summer. I came without much dog sledding knowledge but he was very patient to explain to me all of the technicalities of the sport. I also learned a lot of interesting and useful information when it came to the businesses he runs at the farm. With so many dogs, the sled training is… read more
