Welcome to OffTrack Experience !
Privately guided adventures in Northern Norway
OffTrack Experience is a familial outdoor company founded in 1998 and based in Målselv. It is the project of Espen and Delphine : with over 30 years of experience, we share a passion for exploration, both in the mountains and at sea. We focus on authentic, sustainable and human size tours at the heart of the Arctic, exploring the wilderness. Nature is more than a passion, it's our lifestyle. With our local knowledge, we know where to go in each season, to find the best conditions and create the perfect adventure that suits just you!
Welcome to the North!
Our philosophy : come as a guest, leave as a friend!
Our values centers on deep respect for the nature, and responsible travel. We believe in exploring the wilderness - not just for adventure - but to develop a genuine connection with the environment, and ensure they remains pristine in the future!
We are happy to welcome you into our home. We prefer quality over quantity, and this reflects in our daily life, through the number of dogs - not more than we can have a personal connection with all of them - and the group size that we like to welcome in our home - not more than we can sit at the dinning table all together!
Our core values include sustainability, community, and mindfulness. We prioritise eco-friendly practices, and ensure that our tours benefit both our guests and the local community - which we are a part of.
Mindfulness is key to our approach, encouraging travellers to slow down, and fully immerse in nature. This focus on being present enhances the experience, making it meaningful, and who knows, maybe transformative?

About us
Who are we?
We are Espen and Delphine, a Norwegian-French couple with a common passion for the outdoors. Bound by our interest for exploration and our desire to bring other people out on adventures with us, our shared trajectory has brought us to Målselv - a beautiful corner of northern Norway - right at the edge of wild mountains and fjords!
Espen started his guiding company in 1998, with the desire to give guests the best experience of his native region ; the wild mountain area of Indre-Troms. He has been mushing, leading expeditions and breeding huskies for over 35 years, and has taken part 5 times in the Finnmark race - longest sled-dog race in Europe. Skiing and exploring are common denominators throughout his life.
After many expeditions, we got the conviction that small groups and human size are necessary for an authentic and customised polar adventure, gathering quality and respect for our environment.
