The 10 Best Farms in Northern Norway, Northern Norway
Home to both the midnight sun (with constant daylight from April to July) and the northern lights, North Norway is a rugged land of steep mountains, deep fjords and scenic coastline, making it a great place for outdoor adventures like dog sledding, snowmobiling and wildlife safaris. It's also the ancient home of the Sami people, 3,000 of whom live (along with 100,000 reindeer) at Kautokeino, Norway's largest municipality at over 3,700 square miles.

Experience the nature and silence surrounded by snowclad mountains in the valley of Mathisdalen. In a sleigh drawn by the norwegian fjord horse, the breed that is known from the disney movie Frozen. If luck is with us the aurora borealis may appear. The ride is 30 to 40 minutes long, and you can snuggle up under warm blankets. You will also have the upportunity to see and say hallo to our norwegian short tale sheep when we return back to the farm. Our sheep have the upportunity to be outside all year long, and in the summertime they lives side by side to the reindeer up in the mountains. Our experienced guides will pick you up at your location in Alta and bring you to our farm. Approximately 30 min. drive. The price includes hot beverage and snacks served inside the lavvo infront of the fireplace. Warm clothing provided if needed. Restroom availible for our guests.
