Husky safari & tour in Norway

We buy our supplies from local stores and businesses as much as possible. We specialize is using locally produced food that require a minimum of transportation and support the local economy. We use local guides when possible and take trainees from local schools and colleges every year.

We aim to cause as little harm to the environment as possible. Sled dog tours and canoe tours are by nature one the most earth friendly modes of transportation. We try to keep the impact on the local environment as possible by using traditionally used travel routes. Most of the travel is done in the wither time then the ground is covered by snow.

Our main activity does not burn any fossile fuel. Our sled dog trips are not accompanied by snow machines. We never use motorized transportation of persons in the wilderness. The main fuel source for heating buildings and teepees is locally produced birch wood. The burning of wood does not cause any net production and carbon dioxide to the athmosphere. Electricity used for heating, lights and other purposes are bought from a environmental certified power company. We try to reduce the amount of transportation as much as possible. Our vehicles are fuel efficient turbodiesel with low emissions of greenhouse gases.

Waste and garbage sorted into factions and recycled according to the local recyling codes. The water to our buildings are supplied from our private well witch is gravity fed and does not require any pumping. Waste water is treated according to the highest standards and do not cause pollution. Our buildings are well insulated and covered by energy efficient and environmental correct sod roofs. Outer walls are treated by natural substances, linseed oil and pine tar.

The spreading of foreign fish spieces is one of the most serious theats to the biodivercity in our area. It cooperation with a local landowner assosiation we have conducted a selective fishing project since 1995, using a large fish trap. The project has served to increase the original trout population and reduced the introduced whitefish and pike populations. The fish is used for human food and dog food.

We also support a project to enhance the arctic fox population. The arctic fox population is treatened species in Norway. The goal is supporting hunting of the red fox, that is competing with the arctic fox for food and habitat.

We focus on indigenous peoples and inuit culture and spread knowledge and respect for the old ways of living in the nature. We teach our guest about the local Norwegian culture, the traditional use of the land, local way or preparing and preserving food. We support a local project that have developed a nature and culture trail. The trail has signs and information boards that educate the general public and school children about the nature and cultural values.
