Information on Fosshestar
We are located in the beautiful Engidalur Valley, a 5 minutes drive from Isafjordur. The area is characterised by majestic mountains and an abundance of rivers and waterfalls and at the bottom of the valley is Isafjordur’s first Hydroelectric Power Station, The Fossavatn Power Plant (Fossavatnsvirkjun). With sheep roaming free throughout the valley, extraordinary birdlife and beautiful scenery, we can guarantee a great experience with us.
Our stables in Engidalur ave been used by numerous riders throughout the years and are a big part of the history of horse riding in Isafjordur. In 2006 Árni and Mimmo bought the stables and started renovating the buildings. Now we have eight 8,2 sq meter stalls for our horses and we plan on adding another four soon. We also have our own riding arena, a dressing room and riding gear storage, a coffeeroom and a small bathroom.
We can pick you up and drop you off anywhere in Isafjordur.
You are required to wear a helmet while riding with us and we will provide you with one when you arrive. We can also provide you with anything else you might need, such as overalls, boots, gloves, headwear, saddles and bridles. We also give you the option of using GoPro filming and photography, we will document each and individual tour and send you the media within two weeks from your visit. Even if your experience will be unforgettable, it is nice to be able to share it with your folks back home!
