This is a popular activity lasting approx 90 minutes, starting from outside tourist information in the center of Skjolden these will be advertised at the cruise terminal, tourist information and other locations in Skjolden, can also be booked in advance. Additional details will be listed at the bottom of this section of the website 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, the first tour starts approx. 2 hours after the ship docks, subsequent tours at 2 hour intervals throughout the day. Advance booking is advised on cruise days due to limited capacity and the popularity of the llama walk.

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 2023.

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.
