The bus tour from Oslo is an adventure in itself. Starting from the urban landscape in Oslo City gradually up towards the high mountains in the valleys of Valdres, and finally arriving in the quaint mountain village of Beitostølen.

Feed and care for the animals

If you love all kinds of animals, or have very small kids who enjoy cuddling, feeding and petting them. We can arrange this activity for you. You’ll get to meet our rabbits, baby goats, lambs, pigs, cats, dogs, miniature horses and pick your own free-range eggs to bring home. This is a great activity whatever the weather, as in the case of bad weather we can run this as an indoor activity.

Share de experience!

If you want to share this experience with your family or friends, but unsure whether riding is for you, instead of riding you can join the trip by foot, and take part in the other activities as normal.

Good to know

Our experienced guide will give your child a basic introduction on how to start, stop and steer the horse, before heading out on the trip. Older children and/or those with some experience and adults, can ride alone. However young children and inexperienced riders will have someone to lead their horse. This can be either a trek assistant or a parent. Parents will get an introduction on how to lead the horse safely. If you want to ride yourself but would like one of our trek assistants to lead your child’s horse, please remember to book this in advance.
