Day Trek Mørkridsdalen Conservation Area

This guided walk starts at the trailhead/car park Hødnevollen which is located at the end of the road in the Mørkrid valley (transport can be organized from Skjolden). Follow the Mørkrid river upstream as far as our farm cabin at Liane, where a picnic lunch and refreshments will be provided. You will have good time to relax and explore the area before returning to the trailhead.

The scenery in this area is beautiful and a very special experience. You will pass small lakes and waterfalls along the way and be accompanied by our pack llamas who will carry your bags and lunch for you. Although there is some uphill walking (Liane is 480 metres above sea level), the trail is good and the llamas set a gentle walking pace. Walking time about 2.5 hours in each direction. Tour subject to minimum of two people booking, maximum 10 persons/4 llamas.

From mid June we also check up on the sheep at least once every week on the upland grazing, this involves a lot of walking, but some fantastic scenery.
