Our Mission

At Horisont Husky we create unforgettable multi-day expeditions with our amazing dogs in the wild landscape of Northern Norway. Our mission is to offer exclusive, full-participation tours filled with activity, lots of new impressions, challenges and a true taste of what life is like as a dog walker.

The values of Horizon Husky reflect our drive to explore what lies behind the horizon -- inviting others to join us and our huskies on a path of adventure, contact and discovery of the raw beauty of the Arctic.

My name is Roy Ugseth, and I've been doing outdoor pursuits in all seasons since my dad took me fishing trips in the mountains nearby.

Outdoor recreation has always been an important driving force for me, and gradually my horizons expanded from fishing and hunting to canoeing and kayaking, mountain walks, long ski trips and, last but not least, to dog sledding.

I have been running dog sleds since 2005 and have run one of the longest dog races in the world 10 times.

**Unforgettable Memories**

After several days touring with Horisont Husky, you will experience magnificent landscapes, unique contact with dogs and nature, and sensory impressions you will never completely forget. Maybe nature offers the dancing of the northern lights in the sky as a bonus?

We want our guests to have an experience that he or she grows on, and we can plan different trips of varying duration. We offer all-day tours, overnight trips, 3-day tours as well as unique long-distance tours of 6 days and one of 10 days — depending on your needs.

**Dog Groom**

We focus on providing experiences that build relationships, and the dogs are close to us all the time -- in a tent or a nearby cabin. What dogs experience, we also experience. Being part of the pack is a unique encounter. Maybe they howl in unison, in the middle of camp? Getting to know the pack and almost being part of it is a special experience, and we perhaps understand a little of what once made the dog -- or the wolf -- our companion?

**Life on the Trail**

Our multi-day expeditions are for those who want to experience dog sledding as it really is.

Over six to ten days, you'll travel through the mountains and plateaus of Northern Norway with your own team of Alaskan huskies. The route is shaped by snow conditions, weather and the dogs—not by a fixed timetable.

You'll take part in every part of the journey. Harnessing the dogs in the morning. Preparing camp. Melting snow for water. Feeding the team before making dinner for yourself. These routines have been part of Arctic travel for generations, and they are just as important as the hours spent on the sled.

**Guided by experience**

Roy has worked with sled dogs since 2005 and has completed ten long-distance races. Years on the trail have taught him that good expeditions are built on preparation, teamwork and respect for the dogs.

You'll travel in a small group, giving everyone time to learn, ask questions and become part of life on the trail.

**Travelling responsibly**

Dog sledding is one of the oldest ways of travelling in the Arctic. It leaves little impact on the landscape, but it requires knowledge and responsibility.

We travel in small groups, following “Leave No Trace” principles and adapt every expedition to the conditions we meet. Välj, a.

**Every expedition is different**

Some days bring calm weather and long stretches across open mountain plateaus. Otherdays require us to slow down, change our plans or wait for better conditions.

It is part of the expedition life.

If you're looking for a fixed itinerary, this may not be the right trip.

If you're curious about what it is really like to travel with sled dogs for several days in the Arctic, we'd love to take you with us.

MULTI DAY EXPEDITION

Person

Experience Sarafossen, one of the most impressive waterfalls in Reisadalen, along with some of our four-legged companions from Horisont Husky.

The walk follows the path from the car park directly below the waterfall, where we go up to a plateau where we can see directly into the waterfall. Coffee or tea is served here. From there we continue up to the top of the waterfall before following the Nordkalottruta back.

Along the way you get to experience nature at a leisurely pace, with the dogs as walking companions and plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings.

A nice day trip with good company and a powerful encounter with the nature of the Reisadalen.
