Pferdeschlittenfahrt mit Snacks - Erleben Sie das arktische Farmleben

This was perhaps the best excursion my wife and I have ever experienced. This is a family run business, and they were all very warm and welcoming. The horse sleigh ride was the best. The jingle of the bells on the harnesses added to make this so much fun. It was snowing lightly, some wind, and it was very cold, but nevertheless, we enjoyed this immensely. Following the sleigh ride, we were given a tour of farm life and the barn. We were met by a herd of sheep. One in particular started talking to us with his baa baa baa. So, I responded baa baa baa. He returned with baa baa baa. I think we might be related. Next they took us over to the yurt where we were treated to cold cuts, warm home made cinnamon rolls, and hot tea. And oh, did I mention there was a fire in there to warm us up? Overall, this was way above our expectations, and we highly recommend it to everyone who loves people, adventure, and meeting long lost relatives (the sheep).

Viggo (I believe that’s the correct spelling ????) and his family made us feel welcome and at home from the very start. A taxi picked us up from the cruise ship which was very convenient and then drove us to their farm in a picturesque valley. Snow had fallen over night and it was just beautiful! We thoroughly enjoyed our sleigh ride (warm under blankets provided), our time in the lavvu warming up, drinking coffee/tea, and eating homemade cinnamon rolls; and our tour of the farm and animals. This was a very personal tour and memorable experience, one of the highlights of our trip to Norway. Thanks so much!

This was a last minute booking (27 Jan 2023) in Alta and it turned out to be one of the greatest excursions of our entire trip (right after seeing the Northern Lights)! Laila (the Mom) met us ship-side and drove us to their lovely farm in the Norwegian countryside. Anniken (the daughter) met us at the farm, hitched the team of Norwegian Fjord horses to the sleigh, and we were off! Such a beautiful and quiet ride through the snow covered valley! Anniken explained the history of the farm, how it is managed today, and aspects of the native Sami culture. We even talked a little about the local fishing. It was a great experience to hear and see it all from the sleigh! Then it was back to the farm to tour the barn, stable and the livestock. We huddled in the Sami tent to warm up and enjoy some of Laila's home made pastries and Anniken's cured meats. All of it was delicious!! All-in-all it was a wonderful experience - we learned so much about the Norwegian way of life. Laila and Anniken were SOOOO warm and inviting. I'd recommend this adventure to everyone!
