Alta is a town located in the Finnmark region of northern Norway. It is known for its striking wild beauty and typical Arctic conditions. On this horseback riding excursion in Alta, you'll discover its surrounding wilderness.

The horseback ride in Alta begins at the starting point, an authentic Norwegian ranch in the backcountry, located 10 minutes from the city centre (pick-up is included from the city, please specify your location when booking). Upon arrival at the farm, you'll be greeted by the experienced guide. You'll start by immersing yourself in life at the ranch, meeting the friendly horses and grooming them.

Once the horses are nicely brushed and you've become acquainted, you'll set up the equipment (saddles, bridles, a helmet and a cowboy hat). The guide will go through a safety briefing and instructions. Then, you and your small group will set out on an enjoyable horseback ride in Alta! You'll ride at your own pace, walking, trotting or galloping depending on your experience level.

As you travel through the wild countryside of Alta, you'll experience its stunning nature. You'll pass by lush greenery, long grass and winding fjords. Midway through the horseback riding excursion in Alta, you'll stop for a break to enjoy a delicious lunch and hot coffee. You'll take in the pristine wilderness of northern Norway while relaxing with the horses. Then, you'll return to the ranch, where the horseback riding experience in Alta comes to an end.
