Read about summer horseback riding
Supplier: Geilo Hestesenter
The ride is led by well-qualified instructors, who safely guide you through the snow-covered ski tracks, forest roads, and winter terrain. Before the trip, you get to take part in the preparations such as bringing them from the pasture, brushing, and saddling up the horse. The horses used for the ride are mainly Icelandic or Dole horses. The horses are safe, but can be eager due to the cold. The ground surface can vary, so the horse’s gait can be uneven. Therefore, it is recommended that you have some experience if you want to participate in winter riding. If you want a horse experience, but are not confident on horseback, sleigh rides are highly recommended!

With horse and sleigh you get the opportunity to experience Geilo at a slow pace, and get your resting heart rate down. You sit well wrapped in duvets and leather, and get to experience the winter atmosphere with the sound of bells and steaming horses in front of you.
Geilo Hestesenter has regular sleigh rides several times a week, but it is also possible to book your own sleigh, with pick-up at hotels or other central addresses in Geilo. This is truly an atmospheric and enjoyable experience!
