  • Description

    Description

    We are a small kennel in the woods near the mountains 3 hours north of Oslo, with 21 Siberians Huskies. We live in a small house, have wonderful hiking and mushing trails all year around.
    We train our dogs regularly for races and tours in the mountains. No tourists, just us enjoying life outdoors.
    "We" are Klaus and Wiebke and all the dogs, living here together in harmony with nature.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We can offer wonderful times with wonderful dogs, out on the sled in the mountains. We can teach you to take care of the dogs, go mushing and enjoy the Norwegian nature.
    With us you will be a lot outside, use your body and cuddle a lot of dogs.
    A stay with us will give you insight into a life with sleddogs, experiencing hard work, wonderful days and the possibility to learn more about both dogs, Norwegian wildlife and mushing.

    What else ...

    we live a bit away from public transport, so it would be easiest for you if you have a car or at least a driving license. During your time off you can go for hikes, drive around and have a look at for example Røros, a beautiful city 2 hours away from us.
