You will get to know each of our dogs really well and probably bond closely with your favorites.

Sjusjøen Husky Tours (Leif Tore Lie ENK)

Is a family owned business that consists of Leif Tore Lie and Ida Nilseng as well as 120 Alaska huskies. Our kennel is in Åsmarka, 25minutes driving from Lillehammer and 20 minutes from our touring location at Sjusjøen.

Our guests will experience steering their own team of 6 - 8 dogs after instruction given beforehand. Also, we are there in front in a leading sled. Tours are 6 - 30km. Bread twists and warm drinks are served after all tours. On 30km we also serve a warm meal prepared in our lavvu as well as for some groups/events.

It is very important for us that all our guests feel welcome from the moment they arrive and until they leave. Furthermore, it is just as important that all our dogs are healthy, happy, well trained and that they have perfect trails to work on.

During summer and autumn we also offer tours on wheels using troll carts and kennel visits.

Sjusjøen Husky Tours is certified as an Eco Lighthouse company that includes efforts and routines for safe work environments.
