Horse riding holidays in Norway

An experience that feel like stepping into a fairytale

Horse riding holidays in Norway

Going globetrotting in Norway promises experiences that feel like stepping into a fairytale. Tölt along ivory beaches under the midnight sun, climb jagged peaks rising straight from the turquoise Arctic Ocean, and plunge into the sea after a traditional wood-fired sauna at the end of each day in the saddle. 

Whether you’re a confident intermediate or a seasoned rider, Norway’s dramatic landscapes deliver an equestrian adventure that’s utterly spellbinding. Pristine archipelagos, towering mountains, hidden fishing villages and coastlines so spectacular they’ve inspired legends: this is a country made for exploring on horseback.

Smooth-gaited Icelandic Horses
