Espen

We are Espen and Delphine - the couple behind OffTrack Experience. We share a passion for exploration both at sea and in the mountains, and our dream is to bring you to explore our favourite parts of northern Norway, in the most wild and remote areas we know - together with our dogs, or with our sailboat!

Our company reflects that philosophy through its name 'OffTrack Experience'. We focus on small scale, human size, personal and sustainable outdoor adventures in Troms region - trying to welcome you in the way we like to travel and discover the world ourselves!

After many expeditions, we got the conviction that small groups and human size are necessary for an authentic and customised polar adventure, gathering comfort, quality and respect for the nature. Our journey takes us by dogsled, skis or sailboat, to explore the best of the Arctic in terms of wilderness, culture and inspiring landscapes ; where only a few other people go!

Espen is an experienced musher and dog-breeder, grown-up in northern Norway. He has worked and guided tours with Alaskan huskies for over 35 years, and ran 5 times the Finnmark race - longest sled-dog race in Europe. He is at home in the mountains, driving a sled and making his way in a remote, wild and beautiful environment.

Delphine is a skipper and a sailor, who used to live in the hight Arctic - in Spitsbergen. She has crossed the Barents sea over 12 times on all sorts of vessels, and she is definitely at home at sea! You are in good hands to explore Lyngen, Kvænangen and Loppa areas with her, and make the best of your journey at sea.

Together, we gather our knowledge to take you on adventure : looking forward to welcoming you onbard!

Our guides

Wannes

Wannes is originally from Belgium, but it looks like Norway - and the huskies - have stolen a part of his heart! Educated in carpentry (very useful when you live on a farm in northern Norway) and passionate about outdoor gear, it was a natural move for him to follow the call for the great outdoors, and settle in the Arctic.

Wannes loves to bring people dogsledding, snowshoeing or ice-fishing, and make sure they have the best possible time. His enthusiasm is contagious and he will make sure everyone enjoys it as much as he does - and shares a good laugh every time there's the chance!


OffTrack Experience

The huskies

Visiting our dogyard any time of the year, is a genuine experience in itself! Meet our 35 friendly Alaskan huskies, who are ready for action. Very social and cuddly, they will love to meet you. Raised for their strength, agility and stamina, they have an excellent ability to work in a team. Alaskan huskies comes from the United States, where during the Gold Rush, at the end of the 19th century, husky-type of dogs were crossed with local American-Indian dogs and other European dogs, in order to get the best possible performances. These multiple crosses explain their different looks. Their color being the least significant matter, their working abilities is the most important : hence we have dogs of all aspects, styles and personalities. But most importantly : they are high-level athletes, affectionate, hardworking and perfectly adapted to their environment!
