Program
Horse riding is not just about speed or reaching a destination—it’s about becoming one with a magnificent creature and seeing the world through new eyes. Nomad Mountain Escape's tours are designed not only for riding but also for helping guests step away from their stressed daily lives to find true tranquility and peace.
The daily riding experience is complemented by morning and evening activities: morning gymnastics, yoga in nature, music, and dance. They also offer workshops on health, living in harmony with nature, and environmental awareness. You will learn to respect the needs of animals and place them above your own, to appreciate the wonders of the natural world, and to step outside your comfort zone. These tours are suitable for both experienced riders and beginners.
Horses
Nomad Mountain Escape's Icelandic horses are born for mountains, rocks, and open spaces. They are extremely reliable: gentle and steady with beginners, yet spirited and fun for experienced riders. All of them offer the unique Icelandic gait, the tölt—a smooth and exceptionally comfortable ride. They are Nomad Mountain Escape's family members, born at their farm and raised by them.
Trip facts
- Rider's weight limit for Icelandic horses: 75 kg
- For taller riders, they also have two larger horses (weight limit: 85 kg)
- The daily riding distance is about 15 km
