Holmen Husky Lodge
DOG SLEDDING ESCAPE
The concept at Holmen Lodge started with offering high quality husky tours in the Alta area, and has developed into a small resort with unique accommodation, sociable dining and relaxing spa area to provide an inclusive package for guests. The emphasis here has always been its Huskies, looking after the many Alaskan Husky dogs and providing good quality dog-sledding options. The kennels are on site, so for dog lovers this is a dream experience.
Sleep Well
There are two options of accommodation at the lodge. The glamping lavvos are an interpretation of the tents that the Sami people used, but with a comfortable soft bed, wood burner to keep you warm and snug and large windows to enjoy the surrounding nature and northern lights. The lavvos don’t have bathroom facilities, the toilets and showers are located in the main building only a few meters away. There is also the Arctic Dome, with a private bathroom, sauna, wood burner and skylight to capture the skies above.
Eat Well
The hub of the lodge is The Barn, where the reception, lounge and restaurant are located. The rustic and cosy Barn is very welcoming and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner here using local and fresh ingredients. The evening 2-course meal is served at 18.00, with local meat and fish the highlight.
Play Well
Everything at the lodge revolves around the Huskies, with several trips available ranging from a shorter 2.5 hour tour to several days expeditions.
Be Well
The lodge has a nice lounge area to relax, as well as a spa facility with sauna and outdoor jacuzzi, where you can relax while keeping watch for the aurora.
