Great sleigh ride through the winter countryside - Excellent pickup at cruise ship dock. 20 minute ride to stables. Ingeberg was a great driver of our sleigh. She gave good information about our horse and other breeds at the ranch and was a competent guide. We rode for about 40 minutes near the Alta River and then met up with horseback riders who were on a similar tour. We shared a warm berry drink, coffee and a wonderful cinnamon bun around a wood fire. We returned on a 20 minute ride to the stable. We highly recommend this tour for people of all ages.

Winter sleigh ride through a magical countryside - This is a family business who take pride in their business. We were picked up at the port (we arrived by cruise ship) and taken to the family farm. Once there, we were given additional outerwear to assure that our sleigh ride would be a comfortable experience. The wooden sleigh was a work of art outfitted with reindeer skins to sit on and a plush blanket to guarantee that we would not get chilled. We were driven into the woods which were blanketed in a mantle of virgin snow. We passed frozen waterfalls, the Alta river and open meadows. It felt like we were riding through a snow globe. Lots of animal tracks including moose. But no sightings. About 3/4 of the way, we stopped at a wooden hut with a roaring fire. Besides being served homemade jerky and freshly made cinnamon rolls, we were entertained with stories and history of the region. It was a relaxing, and enjoyable activity. I would recommend without reservations. If we had more time, I would have stayed overnight in their Northern Lights cabins. Next time!!!! They also rent horses and the riders seemed as happy as we were.

Absolutely Amazing Experience 110% Recommend this wonderful sleighride in the snow :) - From the Moment Johnny (the owner of the farm) Picked us up in Alta it became a truly magical and memorable experience. We arrived at the farm with a wodnerful greeting from our guide Fenna. A young Dutch lady working at this farm In Norway who spoke near perfect English. A very knowledgeable, extremely interesting confident young person, by the time we finished our journey we felt as though we had know her for years. We met our horse and Fenna made sure we were warm in the cold weather suits provided and the reindeer skin blankets. Once she had made sure we were totally comfortable we made ready to set off. Our incredible journey through the forest, along the river bank and with a view of the mountains with the frozen waterfalls was remarkable. We reached the end of the trail and turned around to return to the farm and stopped at a little hut about half way back to the farm. Fenna made a fire, which was very much appreciated as temperatures now well below zero. The fire roared and coffee was made accompanied by warm berry juice, with an optional Norweigan Reindeer snack to experience a new taste. little did we know that owners wife had sent some homemade cinnamon buns which were warming by the fire in foil. They were amazing a very warm and welcomed treat, to end our wonderful snack and chat with Fenna. With a short tirp back to the farm as the daylight dwindled perfectly finished a truly magical wonderful experience, Thank you all so much for warming our hearts and enriching our lives :)

Wonderful Experience at Flatmoen Natur! - We absolutely loved our evening at Flatmoen Natur. We had a horse drawn carriage ride through the countryside, followed by a delicious meal by the fire in a charming wooden structure. A very cozy experience. We were lucky enough to catch sight of the Northern Lights, too! A perfect evening with the wonderful staff!

A magical experience, simply the best! - From start to finish, this experience was amazing, pick up and drop off at the port was perfect. The ride was wonderful, our guide Tina was funny, friendly and professional, the food she cooked us on the open fire was delicious. The whole experience was magical and I would do it all again in a heart beat, Thank you so much for a wonderful evening.

This tour was overbooked... - This tour was overbooked for their capacity so 1/2 the group sat around a fire pit for an 1.5 hours waiting for the 1st group to come back. You end up in a wagon that only takes you back on the same road that you drove in on. It was very disappointing as we were expecting to see backroad country landscapes. Perhaps with snow it's a better option. Staff was very nice and friendly.
