TOURS ON WHEELS

Same dogs, different sled.

Through summer and autumn we run cart tours with our Troll and Flarken carts — comfortable, with good brakes, and just as much grinning. In summer we go in the evening and only when it's cooler than 12°C for the dogs, so we confirm the day before.

KENNEL VISITS

Meet all 120 of them.

All days in the summer, from 12 to about 14, you're welcome at the kennel in Åsmarka. Pet and say hello to every dog, one by one — the puppies come out on the grass to play. Coffee or a cold drink and an ice cream while we answer everything you wonder about life with 120 huskies.

The kennel sits on a hilltop in Åsmarka, with big open runs and a view over the lake below. Most guests plan an hour and stay for two.

Adults 350 kr · children 250 kr · best from about 7 years. Book ahead by email or phone. Address: Åsmarkvegen 1467, 2365 Åsmarka — note this is not the winter tour location.

HUSKY HIKES

Borrow a husky, find a view.

A guided hike from the kennel up to Harabakktoppen — your husky clipped to a hiking belt, homemade smoothie and a good cuddle at the top. We meet at 13:30 and use about an hour and a half. Combine it with a kennel visit first!

The dogs know the path well, and at the top a gapahuk shelter waits with the lake spread out below you.

Adults 600 kr · children 7–12 300 kr — package with kennel visit 850 / 400 kr. Hiking shoes and normal walking legs is all you need.

CANOE RENTAL

Silent days on river Åsta.

Eight Hasle canoes wait by the cabin Brubakken, right by the calm, beautiful Åsta. Rent for a day or several — you get a code for the lock and help yourself in and out whenever you like. Plenty of lovely camping spots along the river.

Paddle upstream through slow, quiet bends. Many bring a picnic and make a whole day of it.

400 kr per canoe per day. Book by SMS, phone or email — cancel up to three days ahead for a full refund.
