Cartwheeling Autumn

Experience the unique feeling of Husky carting in Alta's snow-free months. Here you meet the dogs' power, energy and joy on wheels, where teamwork and speed create a very special experience. You become part of the team as we drive through the open landscape and feel how the dogs work together with you in perfect rhythm. This is dryland mushing at its best! Real, active and full of life. Will you join us?

The dogs are the heart of everything we do. We always put their welfare first and want to share the joy of activities with our dogs, the nature and life in the north with our guests.

Experience dog power on wheels

This is an active and different way to get to know the dogs before the snow returns to Alta. Here we use wheels instead of a sled, but the interaction between human and dog is the same.

You'll get up close to the dogs, feel their energy and learn how we work as a team. After a short introduction we prepare the dogs and get started. When the wheels begin to roll, you'll quickly notice how the dogs find a rhythm and pull you forward through the landscape.

The route goes through varied nature around Alta, where forest, gravel roads and open areas form the setting for the experience. Along the way we stop to rest the dogs, swap positions and give you insight into how we train and work with the dogs throughout the year.
