Experience the Norwegian countryside on an evening horseback riding excursion in Alta!

Alta is a dynamic town located in the north of Norway, part of the Finnmark region. It is home to stunning natural beauty, with fjords, mountains and forests. On this evening horseback riding excursion from Alta, you'll explore its diverse backcountry!

The horseback ride in Alta begins at the authentic Norwegian ranch located 10 minutes from the city centre (pick-up is included from listed locations in the city, please specify when booking). Upon arrival, you'll meet the experienced guide and the friendly Norwegian Fjord horses. You'll start with a safety briefing and learn how to manage a stable and ride a horse.

After setting up the equipment (saddles, bridles, and a helmet), you'll mount your horse and set off on your horseback riding adventure in Alta! Depending on your experience level, the ride will be a leisurely walk, a playful trot, or an exhilarating gallop in the surrounding Arctic wilderness. Throughout the trip, you'll discover the pristine nature of Alta's backcountry! Alta is also known as the 'city of the Northern Lights' due to its location in the Arctic Circle. If you're lucky, the mesmerising dance of the Aurora Borealis will appear in the polar night sky above you as you ride.

During the horseback riding excursion in Alta, you'll stop for a break in a shelter and enjoy homemade snacks and coffee by a roaring campfire. As you take in the peace and quiet of the surrounding forest and the beautiful colours of the Northern Lights, the guide will share stories and insights about the region, the farm, and Arctic history. Then, you'll continue your horseback ride in Alta through the magical winter wonderland back to the ranch.

Immerse yourself in the stunning Arctic winter landscapes on an evening horseback riding excursion in Alta!
