Accomodation - Farmhouse

The Riding

We ride in groups across some of the most varied terrain you’ll find anywhere in the world. The Snæfellsnes peninsula has often been called little Iceland due to it’s ever-changing landscape being able to offer almost everything the rest of the country has. On this tour we will ride from the southwestern corner all the way to Snæfellsnes northeastern coast.

By picking this tour you can witness an awe-inspiring glacier, ride on multiple beaches and through ancient lava fields, on top of spectacularly tall and beautiful ocean cliffs, over waterfalls and rivers, across fields of green and rugged mountain passes, through an ocean of lupine flowers and rough rocky terrain.

On this tour we will ride both slow and fast as the terrain changes dramatically each day. For the first four days of the trip we travel along Snæfellsnes southern coast, where we will spend a part of each day on beaches. These beaches form some of the worlds greatest riding terrain as their sand, which is high in clay content is arguably the perfect ground for riding on. There we can ride for hours on the famous smooth gait Tölt and the horses can really show their worth running free without any obstacles to slow them down. The fifth day is spend traversing across a long mountain pass all the way to the north side of the peninsula and on the sixth and final day, we take the time to ride around the area of Helgafellssveit.

The Food

There is no doubt that on a trip like this, food is one of the most important aspects. The food is mostly locally sourced from small family farms and local fishermen.
We eat lamb raised in the wild on the peninsula, fish caught fresh by immediate neighbours and the host family, dairy and beef from a nearby dairy farm, lots of locally grown vegetables and much more. No individual meals are offered, 
we all eat together and everyone gets the same food that is on the menu that day. However, a vegetarian option is offered for those who have notified the hosts in advance. 

The Accomodation

Even though the tour is a round-trip, and the horses stay in a field where we have stopped for the night, you’ll return each evening back to the farm where you can enjoy a time of relaxation and great food. What better way to end a long day of riding than with a filling warm dinner and a pint at the bar?
