Icelandic Horse Farm Lýtingsstaðir
Lýtingsstaðir, 561 VarmahlíðNorth Iceland

Horseback ridingOur peaceful farm Lýtingsstaðir is situated in the North of Iceland in Skagafjörður, only 20 km away from road#1. We offer horseback riding tours (beginner and experienced level) on beautiful trails, in small groups, and away from traffic. Personal service, experienced guides, excellent riding horses, and maintained equipment ensure a high-quality experience. Available from April-October.
AccommodationWe offer accommodation in three wooden cottages for self-catering. Enjoy midsummer nights out on the deck or let dancing Northern Lights take your breath away.
Take a ride or a walk, watch horses and sheep, explore the surroundings, and enjoy the many activities Skagafjörður has to offer. Available all year round.
Lýtingsstaðir is a fully licensed riding holiday company, operating since the year 2000, welcoming you with warm hospitality and a personal atmosphere.
The Old StableInspired by the long history of the farm, a horse stable, and a storage room were built in 2015. The two gabled houses combine turf, stones, and wood, and they are masterpieces of traditional, even if nowadays very rare, Icelandic craftsmanship. We want to tell visitors how horses were kept on farms in the old days, and we have a display featuring old tools, tack, and other items connected with horses and farming. Audioguide is available in different languages.
Open daily from May to September, other times of year on request. Entrance fee with audio guide included.
