Team Huskyfarm

Suppose we only would introduce the people who will greet you when you visit the Huskyfarm. In that case, it will quickly give the impression that only these people have made their contribution to the establishment of the Huskyfarm. This is fundamentally wrong. Actually, far more than 100 people should be mentioned here. All these people have contributed to the establishment and operation of the Huskyfarm.
This includes the life partners, who invested energy in the Huskyfarm for many years, and not only Peter Bickel, who contributed significantly to the design of the Huskyfarm’s web presence as our webmaster for more than two decades.

This also includes all others, mostly young people, who prepared our dogs for the touring season with brilliant training over several months in autumn each year. And that, day in and day out, in often bad, late autumn weather.

They who helped us build the buildings in the snow-free period, who hauled and split firewood from the forest, who spliced ropes, and sewed harnesses.

And of course, the many guests, who could not always leave it alone to simply spend their vacations here, but painted the facades with a paintbrush in their hands and took great care of the dogs. All together have ensured until today, that the Huskyfarm as a family business can exist.

…grew up on one of Norway’s first organic farms on the southwest coast.
She moved to Oslo to study bioengineering and after graduation worked at the university hospital there.
In terms of sports, she is versatile: from dancing to triathlon to being a certified climbing instructor.
In Oslo she met Morten. From then on, the two of them spent a lot of time together in nature summer- and wintertime.
These weekend trips and vacations together and then a warm summer day up at the Huskyfarm in Northern Norway in 2018 led to the decision to move to Morten’s old home.
Both want nothing more than to be close to nature and share that closeness with others.

In the summer of 2020, a new chapter began at Huskyfarm Innset.

…grew up on the Huskyfarm Innset with dog sledding and the “Friluftsliv”. At the age of 19 he started studying his MScs in economics in Oslo and worked in the administration of the mountain sports outfitter Norrøna, among others.
In all those years he was very active in sports, be it on marathons or the 24-hour cross-country race Marka24. As befits a Norwegian, he also goes hunting. On our Spitsbergen expedition in 2015, which lasted several months, he was among others with Björn on Nordaustlandet.
But 13 years in Oslo were enough: With his partner Anne Margarete and their sailboat, the two set sail in May 2020. Destination: northern Norway.
Both then began their further life on the Huskyfarm in Innset.

Micheal Lobaton ...

Chef winter 2025 and 2026

… grew up in Switzerland in the canton of Solothurn. At the age of 13, he discovered his passion for music, art, and skateboarding. But work came before play, so he trained as a flexographic printer and bag machine operator. As these professions became increasingly digitized, he devoted himself more and more to cultural work. After many years as a DJ, event organizer, radio presenter, and owner of a vinyl shop, he sought a new challenge and found it as a chef at Circus Monti. After four successful seasons, the circus’s winter break has brought him to our farm.

Bjørn Klauer ...

Guide and founder of the Huskyfarm

…grew up on the outskirts of Hamburg, Germany and discovered the “outdoor’‘-life at an early age. It was no wonder that especially the northern Scandinavian nature did not let him go.
After his twelve-month hike, which took him over 3,500 kilometers from Oslo to the Soviet border near Kirkenes, he finally found his way to northern Norway.
More than 30 years ago he started to build up the Huskyfarm.
He earns his living by writing and photographing, as a hiking guide and as a musher. He lives together with his partner Katrin, his son Morten and his partner Anne Margarete and the meanwhile above 80 sled dogs on the Huskyfarm Innset.

Cécile Simoness

Chef summer 2026

….grew up in the canton of St. Gallen in Switzerland. She studied business administration and works in strategic marketing in Switzerland. In the summer of 2023, she visited the Husky Farm for the first time as a volunteer whilst the restaurant was being built. She has been returning regularly ever since, as she has learnt something new on every visit: baking bread in a wood-fired oven, looking after the animals, building dog kennels, processing meat from the farm’s own pigs, and growing and tending vegetables. Cécile is at her happiest when she can pick fresh vegetables straight from the garden in the afternoon and use them to prepare intuitive, healthy meals for guests and the team. She loves happy vegetables!
