It's a very nice place to discover the winter in Norway. You will learn a lot about dogs and sledding and races. Learn how a big pack of dogs interact between them and all the communication between dogs. Most of them are rescued and need very special attention.
Our guests speak usually french or English and we talk Norwegian at home, so you are welcome if you want to learn one of this language!
We need someone truthful who want to help us in our daily work.
