  A very special Norwegian family takes you for a glimpse of their life on a farm outside of Alta Norway. They live in a beautiful valley surrounded by mountains. Getting to and from you will see more of the area of Alta, seeing the Fjord, tunneling through mountains, noticing where cooper mining had once taken place, and if lucky, could see military remnants from WWII. Depending on Seasonal arrival at the Farm, a horse will be harnessed to various covered wagons or a sled. Arriving in Fall, I traveled via a comfortable wagon, with soft furs on seating and a nice warm blanket. Viewing was spectacular, the air was so clean, the combination of the farmer and his granddaughter was pleasant and I learned much about the area, their sheep farming and family. Arriving back I was escorted into what I would call an extremely well made Lavvu. Beautiful on the inside, large with a fire burning, we enjoyed treats that were simply delicious. The family again opened up to questions as to their life. I couldn’t remember when I had such a peaceful experience such as this before.

  Amazing experience. Nice long sleigh ride in beautiful location plus homemade cinnamon buns and drinks. Met the horses, sheep and the cat. The transfer was excellent as well. Really pleased we booked. Couldn’t ask for more!

  The sleigh ride with two beautiful Norwegian horses was amazing. After the sleigh ride, our host Anniken welcomed us to their lavvu, served us hot drinks, cured meats and cinnamon rolls and told us stories about farm life in Alta. Anniken and her family were very warm and hospitable.. She also showed us their sheep farm, which was a plus. Her granddaughter, Hannah, was very nice and engaging. Her mom said she really enjoys having people come and visit their farm. We highly recommend this tour for anyone planning a trip to Alta, Norway.

• Idyllic snowy sleigh ride.

  This was the highlight of our cruise trip. Four of us were picked up from the ship by the farm owner and it had been snowing heavily and was still snowing. However, our host drove very safely and we arrived at the farm and et up with our sleigh driver and horse. We then had a sleigh ride around the perimeter of the farm snuggled up under blankets with thick snow all around. Back at the farm we were offered fresh coffee, a freshly baked cinnamon bun and some cured meats, all whilst seated around a roaring fire pit inside a sami tent. It was great getting to know the farm owners and how things work in Norway for farmers. We then went and had a good look around the barns where the horses and sheep are kept and all the animals were remarkably friendly. The ewes were pregnant and lambing not too far off. It was obvious that the owners were passionate about their farm and really cared for their livestock. We were then taken back to the ship.

  This was a lovely family farm experience. The sleigh ride was short, cozy, and comfortable, a definite plus for my senior mother. The homemade cinnamon buns were delicious, and our tour was filled with stories, memories, and an obvious love for the way of life. It was not cheap, but we were happy to support a local family-owned farm in the good work they are doing.
