Horse Riding with Kvistli Farm

Welcome to the mountains and our wonderful Icelandic-horse adventure! Kvistli Farm offers fantastic horse-riding holidays, in Norway’s finest riding terrain, at competitive prices.

Themed Tours

Join a multi-day horse-riding adventure with overnighting outside of the farm. Themed tours are popular with visitors looking for something a little more challenging, but you need not be an experienced and accomplished rider to participate. The important thing is that you love the great outdoors and are used to being active. Our comprehensive tour menu offers different tours with various themes.

Tours vary by length, difficulty and content. We’ve a number of exciting themes and each year we introduce new themes, giving more and more outdoor adventures. Tours also vary in terms of comfort and accommodation and we are confident we offer something to suit everyone.

Each tour has its own charm, whether it be sleeping close to the stars, 1000 meters over the sea, in large tents with a wood-burning stove, or staying in the comfort of a hotel. We often stay in cabins or at farms in the mountains. The farm valleys are teeming with life in the summer, with horses, cattle, sheep and goats all grazing in their element.

Come and join us for an active and exciting holiday adventure.
