Located just outside Tromsø, Villmarksenter has been family-run for over 35 years and is home to almost 200 Alaskan huskies.
The dogs are at the centre of everything we do. Their welfare, training, and everyday life guide how we work, and we aim to give our guests an honest insight into life with huskies—not just the experience of riding behind them, but understanding how they live and what it takes to work with them year-round.
Some of our dogs and handlers have also taken part in long-distance races such as Finnmarksløpet and the Iditarod. Our founder, Tove Sørensen, has started Finnmarksløpet more times than any other woman and has completed the race 19 times. This experience continues to shape how we work with the dogs today.
In winter, we offer daily dog sledding tours in Tromsø, with a range of options to suit different guests. During summer, you can join a Husky Hike or take part in our Puppy Training sessions.
We also welcome guests to stay with us, visit our Husky Café, or use our conference centre – ideal for groups and companies looking to combine meetings with time outdoors and activities with the dogs.
Whether you come for a short visit or a longer stay, you’re welcome to spend some time with us and the dogs—and we hope you leave with something more than just photos.
