A perfect family exursion!
Experience the nature and silence surrounded by snow-clad mountains in the valley of Mathisdalen and come join our family at Omdal farm.
The sleigh is drawn by the horse breed known from the Disney movie "Frozen". The sheep you will meet, have the opportunity to be outside all year long, and in the summertime they lives side by side to the reindeer up in the mountains. After the ride, you can warm up in our Sami tent, called a lavvo, where we serve coffee/tea/pastry/cured meats.

Pleasant Family Farm Visit

5.00This 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.
Authentic and totally enjoyable

5.00This is a really wonderful excursion which we completely recommend. It's an authentic outing to a family farm, about 20mins drive into the countryside from Alta. The welcome is very friendly, the experience of the sled ride (pulled by one of the farm's Fjord horses) is unforgettable, and the fireside snacks are delicious. We loved the home-baked cinammon buns and the local cured meats. Our ride on the sled was by moonlight, in the snow, through the surrounding fields and along the river. Magical. The hosts speak excellent English and are totally happy to chat, explain their way of life, the local history, info about their animals and more. We even got to see the Northern Lights at the end of our evening - but it would have been very special, even if that hadn't happened. Excellent value for money. Great door-to-door service: collected us from the port and brought us back in plenty of time. 10/10

5.00The pony sleigh experience was wonderful from start to finish. Our driver Rune was welcoming and informative. Anniken and her family made every part of the experience enjoyable from the sleigh ride, snack and hot drink to meeting the ponies and sheep. The family are amazing and their love and care for the animals lovely to see. Communication prior to the trip was swift and helpful. I would recommend this very highly. It was certainly a highlight and wonderful memory of our trip to Norway.
