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. You will also get a taste of the Sami way of life, when enjoying a tapas meal in a traditional Sami tent, called "lavvo".

From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and met the horses that would be pulling our wagon, they were very friendly and gorgeous! We got into the wagon and had blankets to sit on and to put over your lap, we set off and had a lovely ride around the woods, it was just getting dark and the colours in the sky were great. We got back to the farm and went into the tent, which had an open fire and was lovely and warm. We were given a plate of different foods to try and had water, tea and coffee. We then went into the barn to meet the other horses and some naughty shetlands! We also met the sheep and a lovely cat! The minibus picks you up from the ship and drops you back again. It’s a great experience, one I won’t forget and I would definitely recommend.

Excellent pick up and journey from the port, to Viggo's family farm. Really relaxing experience, beautiful scenery, comfortable carriage ride, very tasty food and wonderful company talking with Annika and Viggo about their family life on the farm. It was a small group of 7 people so it was personal and friendly. Loved meeting the animals and talking with the family. After 2.5hrs Viggo drove us back to the port, even took a longer route to share some local history and sing us a Norwegian song. Fantastic insight into Norwegian life with such a nice welcoming family. Would recommended this experience to everyone. Thanks Viggo and Annika for an unforgettable memory x

We were collected by private taxi from the cruise terminal and received a warm welcome from the family on arrival. The sleigh ride was amazing through beautiful scenery and all the time we were learning about life on the farm and in Norway. When we got back there was a warm welcome in the Tee Pee with delicious snacks and warm drinks. We were made to feel very special and the family work so hard and truly lover their animals. This is definitely an experience we would do again.
