Experiences with livestock and wildlife

Horseback riding

Horseback riding is a popular all year activity for both kids and adults, and maybe the best way to move around in the mountains. Both short and long guided treks are available in different areas of Valdres.

Sleigh ride (winter only)

A cosy sleigh ride is a perfect way of exploring the winter wonderland in Valdres. With torches and bells, the horses will lead you into the winter landscape, while you relax and listen to the steady rhythm of the horses and gaze at the stars.

Dog sledding

Dog sledding is both exotic and environmental friendly. You can choose to drive yourself after thorough instructions, or sit comfortably in the sledge. An enjoyable activity suitable for everyone, regardless of disabilities. Both day activities and several day adventure trips are available throughout the year. During summer and autumn the sleigh is replaces with a light cart.

Moose safari

Being one of the most iconic wild animals in Norway, moose sightings are highly appreciated by visitors. But though very large - it's the world's largest deer species - moose are sky, mostly active in the twilight hours and blend in with the forest in an exceptional way. Thus they are notoriously difficult to spot. Joining a moose safari in Vaset with an experienced guide will increase you chances significantly.

Farm visit

A visit to a farm or summer farm is always a success with children. You may pat the animals and sample delicious fram products, such as the famous brown goat cheese.
