HurdalNilsstua Alpaca Garden
Welcome to Nilsstua farm in Hurdal. Here you can take part in alpaca walking and buy unique products and yarns from our own alpacas. At the farm you will meet Ola Bjerke and Maiken Tømta. A cohabiting couple who at the turn of the year 2018, together with 3 dogs, took over Ola's family farm where the production of roughage was the operation of the farm. At Nilsstua, production of hay is still taking place, but ever since Maiken and Ola took over in 2018, they have wanted to expand - and in 2019 the first alpacas moved in. They have become part of the family at Nilsstua. Alvin and the gang are calm and very special animals with a lot of personality that brings joy and positive energy into everyday life on the farm. Much of the reason why the choice fell on alpacas was fiber production - a luxurious fiber that is spun into yarn, in addition to their calm nature. The farm focuses on breeding animals with good fiber quality and with full control of the entire process so that the animals have the best possible. Now, on the other hand, it is desired that more people get to experience how beautiful the alpacas are and get to know them better up close. Here you can take part in alpaca walking and buy unique products and yarns from our own alpacas. You will find us 1 hour north of Oslo. Alvin and the gang on the farm are looking forward to meeting you - Welcome!
SperrebotnAlpaca hiking
Alpaca hiking is a unique experience in beautiful surroundings, suitable for the whole family. You get to meet, handle and have the company of your very own alpaca – through the fields and forest around Østre Kjærnes farm in Våler, a 20 minutes car drive from the city of Moss. The whole alpaca experience takes about 90 minutes. Everyone over the age of 12 years can take care of their own alpaca during this guided tour. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to feed your alpaca with snacks - a very popular activity among both alpacas and visitors! You will be taught what alpacas are, their origin, their history and of course why we have alpacas today and what we use them for. We recommend that you book an alpaca hike well in advance (preferably more 2 weeks in advance) as this is a very popular activity. Price: 395 NOK per person (90 minutes and your own alpaca

Walking with alpacas
Because woolly walking buddies are the best!
“Hello there! Who are you?”
Arthur
Baby alpaca from Sørum
“... just follow the sign down the road. The older boys are waiting for you there, and they love hiking!”
“Uh, did somebody say... hiking? Now? We just got our summer cut!”
Sindre
Alpaca from Sørum
“Oh, well. We just need our halter first. Can you help us put it on?”
“Thank you! Now, let's hang out and wait for the rest of the group. You see, we alpacas are herd animals, so we prefer to be together in large groups.”
“That's better. Let's take a slow walk in the nearby area. Our human family will tell you everything you need to know about us as we go.”
“By the way: Did you know that it's possible to go walking with us in winter as well? Just remember to bring warm clothes.”
Alvin
Alpaca from Sørum
“We already have a nice coat of wool, so we are good. The climate here in Norway is actually pretty perfect for us alpacas, and we love to be outside all year round.”
Walking with alpacas has become super popular in Norway. No wonder, just look at these cuties!
This is an outdoor activity suitable for almost everyone, including families with children.
One really cool thing about alpaca walking is all the fun facts you get from your guide.
The farms have dedicated guides, who love to tell you everything about their history, the local area, and ...
... the precious alpaca wool!
Some farms, like here at Sørum outside Oslo, also have a shop where you can purchase some soft, warm wool clothes after your walk. The perfect gift to bring home!
And if you can't get enough of alpacas, why not spend the night with them as well?
Here at Bestebakken Boutique Hotel in the Sognefjorden area, you can!
