Our dog carts let you explore the Arctic nature as it transitions from Autumn to Winter. Take charge and let the huskies lead the way on an unforgettable ride.
Whether you want to be a passenger or try your hand at steering the cart and the huskies is up to you. The ride takes you on a journey through the forest and along the banks of the Alta River, famous for its salmon fishing.
Our family joined their ranks over three decades ago. We have spent the years racing and learning about dogsledding. This knowledge is the foundation of the dog trips that we offer our guests.
You’ll get to experience the Arctic countryside, just as it is changing its colours and preparing for the oncoming winter.

I forbindelse med teambulding dro bedriften vår til holmen for hundekjøring overnatting og matopplevelse. Vi opplevde utmerket service og herlige omgivelser. Jeg sov i Tipi teltet. Nydelig sovested. Siden jeg ikke var kjent med ovnen ble det litt kaldt på rommet, men det ødela på ingen måte opplevelsen.
Hundekjøringen er avslappende og fin aktivitet. Passer alle alder. God veiledning fra Brage og ble avsluttet i Lavvo med varm saft og historie om gården og hundene.
Jeg anbefaler på det sterkeste å benytte Holmen for team aktiviteter!

We visited Holmen Husky as an excursion through our Cruise & Maritime visit to Alta. The trainers and owners are absolutely brilliant and they help you through driving and tell you anything you want to know about the dogs, the area and the history of dog carting! The dogs are absolutely beautiful and just stunning animals! If you get the opportunity to drive the carts... Do it! It's a truly amazing experience and aside from steering your cart and using the breaks...the dogs do the work for you! A genuinely wonderful experience and just made our entire holiday incredible. The dogs are so well cared for and such good natured. Just gorgeous creatures! That trip teamed up with Northern Lights views has made the entire holiday, and coping with the -3°C, worth while!

Having learnt about this place through my taxi driver, we contacted Eirik and he managed to accommodate the 6 of us one day later before we left ALTA. Everything for the clothing was provided. Hearing the dogs, watching the dogs getting so excited to run was truly amazing. They do a little training session on being able to handle the carts- the sos and songs before we head through the dog area with all their kennels. Then we saddled up and took turns in being the Musher and passenger. We were out on the journey for about an hour and it was so much fun, and the dogs loved it when we saw a little bit of snow. When we got back we were to meet more dogs, take pics and ask loads of questions. We then sat by there fire for hot juice, cookies and puppies.... not to eat but to have lots of cuddles. It was so sweet and everyone felt at home with their pup and the handlers coming to see and chat with us too. We didn’t really want to leave but a restaurant was waiting for us. All in all with the shuttle, it took about 3 hrs in total - so worth the money,
