Activity Snapshot
Activity description
Come out to a real arctic ranch and visit the Norwegian country by horse! This excursion will go at your pace, be it a walk, trot, or gallop through the wild Arctic nature.
Just 10 minutes away from Alta city centre, Flatmoen Farm lies on the brink of the wild backcountry, with its beautiful Norwegian Fjord Horses. On this excursion, your guide will pick you up directly from the city to head out to the farm. Once there, you will meet the horses, and depending on your level of expertise, you will learn a little about the different aspects of managing a stable and riding a horse.
Then it will be time to get the tack and saddle up for the adventure. Depending on your level, this will either be a leisurely walk, a playful trot, or an exhilarating gallop in the surrounding Arctic wilderness. The nearby forests and rivers are magical in the Winter time: enjoy the scenery as you make your way through snow-clad pine trees, hooves crunching in the snow.
Along the way, you and your guide will dismount your horses at a shelter to indulge in a lovely homemade meal by a hot fire. Protected from the arctic Winter, you will be able to share stories about the region and the farm. Savour the local flavors as you dive in the Arctic history and it's fascinating stories!
Discovering the wilderness by horse is an amazing experience; Flatmoen Farm's horses are calm, friendly, and a joy to ride. Come and meet them soon!
