Llama Tours, Walks and Activities

Visit Skjolden, meet the llamas and enjoy a very special experience. The farm is located just 500 meters from the centre of Skjolden near the Mørkrid river.

Below are listed details of activities on offer during 2024. Our main season is from 1 May until 1 September. We can however organize tours for other dates or alternative activities, please contact us to discuss your requirements.

PLEASE BOOK IN ADVANCE. We are often involved with other work here on the farm and very busy at times, we can therefore not always guarantee that we can organise tours or activities at short notice.  

CRUISE SHIPS. On most days when cruise ships are visiting Skjolden, we will offer llama walks as part of the ships shore excursion programme and the tours are therefore bookable through the cruise lines. If there is enough available time we will also arrange additional, shorter farm visits and activities which are bookable direct with ourselves, there are also some days when we take direct bookings for some or all of the llama walks, details will be listed at the bottom of this section of the website as soon as the itinary has been finalised and a minimum of two or three days in advance of each ship docking in Skjolden. There will be a MINIMUM of one llama available for every two people on the walk when cruise ships are here.  Advance booking is advised on cruise days due to limited capacity and the popularity of the llama walk.

ACTIVITIES - NON-CRUISE DAYS.

River Walk & Farm Visit

Enjoy a visit to the farm, meet the llamas and take them for a liesurely walk by the river. See what else is happening on the farm when you are here. In addition to the llamas, we have an old norwegian breed of sheep and grow raspberries.

Price: NOK 300 per person.

Farm visit

If you would prefer, we offer short farm visits where you can see what is happening on the farm and meet/handle the llamas. 

Duration: approx. 45 minutes.

Price: NOK 125 per person (subject to minimum charge of 250 NOK).

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.

Duration: full day, approx 8-9 hours.

Price; This tour is currently under developement and we hope to be able to organise a limited number of days during 2025.

Other Activities.

There will also be the opportunity to accompany us on our daily inspection round when we check all the areas where we have sheep and llamas grazing. Spring and early summer this can be three or four different locations around Skjolden. 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.
