Did you know it is just as fun to do dog sledding using carts?

Summer-/autumn tours on wheels

Throughout summer and autumn you are welcome to join us and the dogs using Troll and Flarken carts! During the summer temperature is an issue on which you can read more below. During autumn planning is as easy as in the winter and we offer tour on requests, all days are possible. Read more below!

Sitting on a large team

Normally on our tours you will steer your own dog team with 8 dogs. As a new offer this autumn Leif Tore is happy having passengers on his new Flarken cart with two seats! On this tour however you will be sitting on with him training up to 20 dogs in a team. Read more here.

Spring; May

May is the most difficult time of the year for arranging husky tours, but it could be possible and always worth asking us. In the beginning of the month it is quite likely that we are still touring on snow/sleds. If not it could be we can arrange on wheels in a forest area quite close to the kennel in Åsmarka. All days are possible on request, however, we cannot go if weather forecast says it will be too warm. From mid-June things are easier as we then can go to Hornsjø (mountain area), see below.

Summer; mid-June - August

Depending on temperature: Tours are available all days on requests and during the summer months we decide to meet late afternoon/early evening to make sure temperature is not to warm for the dogs. For the same reason it could be that we cannot at all go and therefore we will confirm to you finally a day ahead at the latest. We will make a booking in our book and also decide on a time to meet a day or two ahead.

The tour: Our summer tour is amazing. Starting at an open mountain camping by the Hornsjø lake, where we also end the tour and make bread twists and enjoy warm drink by the fire. Tour is 16km along an old mountain road, not suitable for cars anymore but perfect fun for dogs! Carts are comfortable and breaks are good. We only do the one tour in the summer so quite exclusive.

Lengst in time: The tour itself is 1 hour and 15mins and including preparation and instruction + bread twist and warm drinks around the fire afterwards all together 2 - 2,5 hours.

Location: Hornsjø mountain camping, close to Hornsjø Mountain Hotel. Also close to Pellestova Hotel and Nordseter should be considered for overnight stay. Road descripton will be given when you book.

Children: As we go in the evening and need temperature to be less than 12 degrees it is not suitable for small children. From 6 years old should be fine if they are properly dressed.

Booking: Send ida an email! If you have several possible dates, it will higher the risk!

Prices: Nok 1950,- per adults/nok 1350,- per children 5 - 12 years. Payment on the touring day as things are unsure - we will bring a terminal. Norwegians may also use vipps.

Autumn; September - November

From September we normally also do tours mid-day. Hornsjø as described above is the location second week of October. However, when we reach autumn dogs are trained to go a bit longer, so tour is 16km.

Later than mid-October tours are arranged in a forest area called Bøverlund which is just 10mins from the kennel. We go through idyllic forest paths and here we have a tour of 8km. Nice for groups that we need to split up in 2 or 3 groups.

Prices:

Hornsjø 12km: Nok 1750,- per adults/nok 1150,- per children 7 - 12 years.

Hornsjø 16km; Nok 1950,- per adults/nok 1350,- per children 7 - 12 years.

Bøverlund 8km: Nok 1150,- per adults/nok 850,- per children less than 7 - 12 years.
