For the good life: dog sledding in the stunning Finnmark wilderness – authentic, locally sourced and unique culinary experiences, and cozy accommodation.
We have made everything ready for you—what would you like to experience?
It could have remained a dream, but Trine Lyrek and Johnny Trasti turned the idea of creating something entirely their own into reality—for them and for us. Dog sledding and the culinary arts: what can we achieve together, and where? The answer has become a beautiful union, the very best of two worlds set in a magnificent third—the wild and beautiful Arctic.
Trine&Trasti is a unique place for experiences, both physical and spiritual.
Both young and old guests should feel at home with us. The adventure begins right outside the door; no cars, no large crowds, just a rich farmyard surrounded by sheltered pine forest. We are committed to creating great experiences across generations, and want everyone to feel a sense of achievement and the joy of being out on a hike, regardless of shoe size or experience level.
The dream of Finnmark and its powerful natural experiences runs deep for many. Whether it is the Northern Lights or the Midnight Sun, the silence or the excitement, the mountains or the vast tundra that appeal most, we are more than ready to take you out on an adventure.
Experience the good life in Finnmark with local food experiences, leave-no-trace travel in the mountains and on the tundra, and authentic encounters between people, animals, and nature.
Many experiences become even more meaningful when shared with those closest to us; whether it’s a delicious meal at a beautifully set table, a cup of coffee around the campfire, the sense of accomplishment of harnessing your own dog team, or the silence that falls when the northern lights dance across the sky.
A meal is so much more than just food. It’s about gathering around a table, being able to smell, taste, feel, and hear the story of the ingredients, nature, and traditions. The menu and flavors change with the seasons, and we are happy to share our knowledge and experience with you.
Not as a guest. As one of us.
Roll up your sleeves and become part of everyday life at Trasti & Trine. Split firewood, pick berries, cook, care for the dogs, and take part in whatever the seasons demand of us.
No façade. Just real people, real tasks, and a life where nature sets the terms.
Join us at work — for an hour, a day, or a week.
Welcome home to Trasti & Trine.
At Trasti & Trine, we let the seasons set the pace, and the experiences follow. We have gathered our favourites from the kitchen, the dog yard and the wilderness into stays where you get to taste the very best of life in the Arctic. From the bright nights of the midnight sun to the colours of autumn and the adventures of winter. Different seasons, different experiences, but always the same warm welcome.
Welcome home to Trasti & Trine.
Some adventures demand a little more from us. Join our dogs out into the Arctic wilderness, where silence, landscape and weather set the terms. Here, it’s all about cooperation, trust and finding your place in the pack. From the first paw prints to long days on the sled, we share experiences that challenge, delight and leave a lasting mark long after the journey is over.
Welcome out into our Arctic.
Some experiences deserve to be truly out of the ordinary. With us, we tailor private adventures where you set the frame and we take care of the details. From exclusive dining experiences to dog sledding and encounters with Arctic nature. No strangers, no fixed formula. Just you, our people and the chance to experience the Arctic in your very own way.
ForkPrint is the link between the values we believe in and the way we try to live them out in practice. For Trasti & Trine, ForkPrint is responsibility, hospitality and relationships. It is the compass that connects operations, collaboration, food culture and long-term development, with a desire to create lasting value in the community, with people and from nature.

“Dog sledding in all kinds of weather as should be expected in winter and on the plateau. Trine, as a safe and warm guide, led us safely and well around, with food preparation that was delightful for the palate and the body!
The dogs are real workhorses and so incredibly social, easy to handle, and wonderful cuddle buddies!
We even got to see the sun on the last day, which also concluded the drive home with an aurora!”
Trasti & Trine is located about 10 km from Alta town centre, nestled in the forest and sheltered from view. You reach us via a small road off the main road. Alta River is nearby. Here you will find silence, woods and a calm landscape close to Arctic life.
