Bio
Hometown: Rauland,
Silvia Furtwängler was born and raised in
Germany. She began mushing 27 years ago and became
interested in running the Iditarod when she crossed
the finish line of the Yukon Quest in 2003. In
2008, “I went in the footstep of Roald
Amundsen and crossed the Hardangervidda with sled
dogs a little bit like Amundsen, he went with ski.
After this I was convinced that this is the right
place to live. In 2008, I emigrated to
Norway.” For the last three years she has
owned her own tour guide business. Silvia has two
adult children, Maurice and Raffaella and Steven,
15. She lists her hobbies as hiking, cooking and
photography.
