Description

Leave the crowds behind and join a completely private husky karting experience at OffTrack Experience, our small family-run kennel in Målselv, approximately two hours from Narvik.
Begin by meeting our 35 friendly Alaskan huskies and learning about their personalities, training, care and everyday life at the farm. During the snow-free season, the dogs train with specially designed wheeled carts instead of sleds.

Your guide will provide a clear safety briefing and show you how the dogs are selected, prepared and harnessed. You will then head out with a team of six to eight eager huskies.
No previous experience is required. Drive the cart yourself, share the driving with another person in your group, or enjoy the journey as a passenger with your guide.
Follow quiet trails through the boreal forest, surrounded by mountains and Arctic landscapes. The route, pace and running time are always adapted to the weather, trail conditions and how the dogs are feeling. Their welfare always comes first.

During the outing, we normally stop around a wood fire for a warm Norwegian lunch, usually reindeer soup, together with hot drinks and snacks. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free alternatives are available when requested in advance.

After the run, return to the farm for more time with the huskies and stories about our everyday life with sled dogs. Depending on the weather, we gather around the fire or inside our cosy log cabin.
The complete experience lasts approximately four hours and is exclusively for your own booking group, with a maximum of five guests.

For the welfare of the dogs, husky karting only operates on suitable cool-weather days when temperatures are below 15°C. The route, timing or activity may be adapted when conditions require it.

Would you like to stay longer? Private overnight accommodation at our husky farm, together with access to our traditional wood-fired sauna, may be added on request and is subject to availability.
