Alta, Norway: The City of Northern Lights
Nestled among the breathtaking landscapes of Norway, our home for the week offers an idyllic retreat for those seeking relaxation and adventure. Unwind amidst nature’s beauty while earning excellent veterinary CE. Enjoy luxurious accommodations, savor culinary delights crafted from fresh local ingredients, and participate in enriching activities. Plus we get to say hi to 60 happy Alaskan Huskies everyday!
From our hosts: Welcome to the good life. We live and work in close contact with the elements. We invite our guests to share the good life in Finnmark with us through the winter. Imagine a dog sledding trip in the forest, on the mountain plateau or on the river ice. Experience the wonderful light during the Polar Night and relax by a cozy fire. Join us for an adventure. The guests who visit us will always meet dogs that are happy, satisfied and well trained. They will never be in doubt that the welfare of the dogs is our top priority. We wish to share our respect, humility and love of the dogs and the nature-based experiences with everyone who visits us.
