Description

  • Itinerary

In the winter time, from February throughout March, our riding tours are on the ice-covered Lake Myvatn if the conditions permit. The tours depart from Álftagerði farm on the south side of Lake Myvatn. We ride on the lake, providing a unique view of the area. Our horses have snowshoes which gives them the stability they need for walking on ice.

The tour lasts approximately one hour (time in the saddle) but customers can expect to spend 15 extra minutes before and after the tour 

There will be some occasions where we cannot ride on the ice, usually due to too much snow in the trail. In that case we ride on land in the vicinity of the farm where we are able to ride, given the conditions of the ground. From the time when the ice on the lake starts receding and it is no longer safe for us to ride on, our rides will be solely on land. This usually happens towards the end of March/very beginning of April.

Helmets are provided for each rider.

Please dress according to the weather – warm clothes, winter gloves, winter outfits. Sunglasses are very helpful when riding on ice and snow.
