Activity description

Join this unique horse riding excursion near Beitostolen for a memorable experience in the mystical Norwegian forests at nighttime! During this adventure, you might even witness the Northern Lights dancing in the skies overhead! 

After being greeted by your professional guide, you and your group will be given a brief safety introduction followed by the tour's itinerary. Then, it will be time to meet your new four-legged companion! For those with no previous horse experience, your guide will show you how to brush and saddle your horse. Once you've mounted the animal, you'll be given a basic introduction to stopping, starting, and steering. Then, the adventure begins! 

With only your headlamp to light the way, you'll ride through the woods at a relaxing pace, keeping an eye out for rabbit, fox, and moose tracks. If you're lucky, you may even cross paths with some of these amazing creatures! Savour the silence as you and your party traverse the remote wilderness by horseback.

After your excursion, you will un-saddle your horse, brush them, and give them a well-deserved dinner! While they are happily munching on their hay, you can take a break and relax in a cosy barn while enjoying a warm beverage. 

Don't miss this unforgettable evening experience in beautiful Norway! Book this 2-hour winter night ride near Beitostolen today!
