Accomodation at our Husky Dogsledding Expeditions

Before and after every husky tour, you’ll stay at Huskyfarm Innset. Accommodation will be in our cosy guesthouse or holiday apartments. All buildings have showers and fully equipped kitchens. Bed linen and towels are provided.

During the tours, we stay in simple mountain huts, lavvus—traditional Sámi tents—or mountain tents.

The mountain huts have neither electricity nor running water. But they all have the most important thing: a proper wood-burning stove that quickly warms the rooms.

For water, we often cut a hole in a nearby lake or melt snow.

The huts vary greatly in comfort. The Norwegian Trekking Association, DNT (Den Norske Turistforening), has built huts at roughly a day’s travel apart along much of the Norwegian–Swedish border. We especially enjoy staying in them in Dividalen National Park.

On the Swedish side, we can sometimes stay in very simple Sámi huts. Near Dividalen National Park, around Altevatn and Leinavatn, Camp Leina offers comfortable accommodation, including lovely cabins and a sauna. The range goes from well-equipped cabins with a sauna to small, basic mountain huts that are simple, snug, and full of charm.

30 kilometres from the Huskyfarm, we have set up a *lavvu*—a cone-shaped tent traditionally used by the Sámi people of northern Scandinavia.

We’ve adapted our lavvu for greater comfort: instead of an open fire, we heat it with a wood-burning stove, and the sleeping platforms are raised. Both features use the heat better, so no one needs to be cold.

The same applies to nights spent in tents, which are mainly part of our longer sled tours. We want to make overnight stays as comfortable as possible, so sleeping mats and reindeer hides provide reliable protection from the cold ground. The tents are also heated. Sleeping in a winter tent may seem daunting at first, but in our experience, there’s no need to worry. With the right know-how and good routines, it can be a very comfortable night’s sleep. The great advantage of tents is that they let us reach areas with no huts or other accommodation.

On tour, we always sleep in sleeping bags.
