Activity description

Venture into the Norwegian wilderness on horseback through idyllic fields and stunning mountains on this 6-hour-long day trip! Explore the foothills of Langsua and Jotunheimen National Parks during this hands-on experience!

Once you've arrived at the Myhre Gård farm, you'll be welcomed by your experienced guide who will provide a safety briefing as well as outline the tour's itinerary. When you've packed your saddlebags with food and water, it's time to meet your four-legged friend! Your guide will show you how to brush and saddle the horse. In addition, they will give basic instructions on how to start, stop, and steer. Then, the adventure begins! You and your horse with head off at a steady pace while breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the breathtaking landscapes.

Halfway through the excursion, you'll stop by the shores of Olevann at a traditional mountain farm. After watering and feeding the horses, you'll enjoy a well-deserved break and sit by a roaring campfire with a warm beverage and a delicious bite to eat. Why not upgrade your experience with a hardy 'Wilderness Meal' stew? (Available for an additional fee.) During lunch, your guide is happy to answer any questions you may have about the horses or the area. 

When both animals and humans are refreshed, you will begin the trek back to the farm, taking in the magnificent scenery along the way! 

A perfect family-friendly activity customized to the experience levels of the group, it is an ideal way to explore Norway's beautiful outdoors!
