Discover Jotunheimen on horseback with bus from Oslo

Experience the exhilaration of horseback riding amidst the serene snowscapes of Norway’s mountainous terrain, nestled near the enchanting Jotunheimen and Langsua National Park.

Explore the snowy terrain, pause at a traditional mountain farm, and savor a warm meal by the campfire before returning to Oslo.

Program

Early in the morning (8.30am) you will leave Oslo with our comfortable bus. Enjoy the scenic journey from Oslo to the Valdres Region. After leaving the bustle of the capital you will soon find yourself on countryside roads passing through small towns and surrounded by frozen lakes and snowy fields. As you get further into the country, you will see the mountains of Jotunheimen in the distance. Your destination for today. The coach has adjustable seats, free WiFi, outlets with USB charging ports and toilet facilities on board.

Your guide for the day will meet you at the farm, where we will serve you something to eat and drink while you receive some practical information about today’s adventure and before we head to the horses. You will get the necessary equipment for your ride and pack your food, drink, and trip essentials into the saddle bags. Once you have been assigned your horse for the day, beginners will receive instructions from the guide on how to start, stop and turn. Then you’re ready for the trip.

When everyone is feeling refreshed and relaxed after a break, we start the trek back to the farm. Then it’s time to give your goodbye hugs to the horses and thank them for the trip. The bus back to Oslo leaves at 6pm and you will arrive in Oslo at around 22pm.
