Activity description

Discover Norway's winter wonderland on horseback and relax around a roaring campfire during this fun-filledexcursion near Beitostolen, on the outskirts of Jotunheimen and Langsua National Parks! This hands-on tour is tailor-made to suit the experience levels of all participants. 

At the farm, you'll be greeted by your experienced guide. They will give a safety briefing before introducing you to your four-legged friend! Beginners will be shown how to groom and saddle their horses, depending on the season. Your guide will also share basic techniques on how to steer and control your horse. Once your saddlebags are packed for the trek, the adventure begins! 

Breathing in the crisp air, you and your companion will work as a team, traversing the beautiful winter/spring landscapes together. You'll savour the moment to the sounds of horses' hooves crunching in the snow. Before you know it, you'll dismount at a traditional Norwegian farmhouse for a well-deserved break. Once you've helped feed the horses, you'll relax around a campfire and have a bite to eat. To complement the experience, a hardy "wilderness meal" is available for an additional fee.

When animals and humans alike are fully rested, you'll make your way back to the farm, content with your day. This immersive, 3-4 hour winter ride is a perfect family-friendly activity for those who love nature and animals! Book this half-day horse riding tour near Beitostolen today!
