Our Story

We started out as a home for dogs in 1988, since then our passion for dogs and life in nature has taken us on an exhilarating journey. Our family run business was set up by Tove Sørensen who has over has competed 19 times in the Europe’s longest dog sledding race – Finnmarksløpet.
In 2006 she participated in the World longest dog sled race in Alaska, The Iditarod.

Her son Torkil, plays an active role in the company. He helps run the company day-to-day and is one of the main guides on our multiday expeditions.

He plans on competing in the Iditarod in the next few years also. You can read an interview with him here.
