OffTrack Experience is a Norwegian company founded in 1998, focused towards human size adventures at the heart of the Arctic. It is the project of Espen and Delphine : with over 30 years of experience, we share a passion for exploration both at sea and in the mountains.
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 our environment.
Our journey takes us by dogsled, skis, sailboat or even diving - to explore the best of the Arctic in terms of wilderness, culture and inspiring landscapes ; where only a few other people travel!
Espen has been immersed in the mountains and high plateaus around his native Troms all his life. He is a 5 times finisher of the Finmmark race - longest European dogsledding race, a mountain ranger and canoe instructor. He also worked for feature film logistics and led the regional council for outdoor sports. He has been competing with his dogs since 1995. His passion has taken him all over the world – from canoeing through Canada to skiing over the Norwegian arctic and trekking in South America. His passion for the lands and cultures of the Norwegian Arctic only matches his enthusiasm about sharing it with new friends!
With home base in Marseille, Delphine is originally from the Alps, and is educated as a Commercial Diver and Officer in the Merchant navy. She has been a professional sailor for over 15 years, most dedicated to the higher latitudes of Norway and Svalbard. She has been working on Svalbard for the past 6 years as the captain of different ships and sailboats. She is highly specialised in Arctic sailing and has a limitless passion for wilderness and exploration, in addition to her husky family when she is in Norway.
Visiting our Husky farm any time of the year, is a genuine experience in itself!
Meet our 35 friendly Alaskan huskies, who are ready for action! Well socialised, they will love to meet you.
Raised for their strength, agility and stamina, they have an excellent ability to work in group. Their name comes from the US, 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 improve their performances. These multiple crosses explain their different looks. Their color being the least significant matter, their working abilities is the most important thing : hence we have dogs of all aspects and styles.
But most importantly : they are high-level athletes, affectionate, hardworking and perfectly adapted to their envoronment!
