Aurora Dinner with Dog Sled Tour

Peggy and Torsten Kohnert were born and raised in Germany and later moved to Sweden, where they built their first racing and tour kennel.  Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, they competed in major Scandinavian long-distance races, including the Finnmarkslöpet, Femundløpet, and Pasvik Trail.

After becoming parents to two daughters, they came to Alaska to pursue the world’s most iconic sled dog races.  Torsten went on to compete in the 1,000-mile Yukon Quest seven times, the Copper Basin 300, and several other events, earning top-five finishes and awards such as Best Care of Dogs and the Spirit of the North.  Their growing love for Alaska inspired them to relocate their kennel from Scandinavia to the Last Frontier.

Today, Peggy and Torsten live their dream life surrounded by their dogs and the Alaskan wilderness.  They are passionate about sharing their love for sled dogs, outdoor adventure, and northern living with guests from around the world.
