Experience an unforgettable break in nature,
where you can enjoy freshly made Norwegian pancakes (sveler) with forest garden jam, campfire-brewed coffee, and peaceful alpacas grazing freely around you. Beneath the trees, you’ll have the perfect chance to relax, unwind, and recharge in true Norwegian farm charm.
Dreaming of a break that truly refills your soul?
At our farm, you get more than just a peaceful moment in nature – you get a full experience that warms both body and heart.
Enjoy the stillness as our gentle, curious alpacas graze quietly around you, shaping the landscape with soft steps. Meanwhile, your host lights the campfire – where freshly brewed coffee and warm Norwegian pancakes (sveler) are served, topped with homemade jam made from garden berries. This is a rare chance to truly unwind, connect with nature, and create memories that stay with you long after you leave.
Each group gets their own cozy spot under the open sky and the trees, complete with blankets and cushions – perfect for a calm,
peaceful picnic.
Feeling extra hungry? You’re welcome to bring your own food to warm over the fire or enjoy as is.
The experience winds down around 8 PM, when the alpacas begin settling in for the night. You’ll pack up and stroll back the way you came – full of fresh air, warm memories, and maybe a few great photos.

Meeting Point
I Ro og Mak ved Straumen gård
Discover a hidden gem in Helgeland's archipelago – Straumen Gård in Utskarpen, 30 kilometers from the Arctic Circle town of Mo I Rana – a small and intimate farmstead where the fjord reflects the mountains and nature embraces you from all sides. In this peaceful setting, you can experience farm life year-round, suitable for day visits or overnight stays for up to 10 guests.
The farm offers accommodation, meeting rooms, local food, and various activities such as alpaca safaris, foraging for wild edibles, birdwatching, fishing both by boat and from land. It also offers subscriptions for growing herbs and vegetables.
Right outside the door, you'll find a large natural outdoor area, perfect for fresh-air breaks, conversations around the fire pit, or simply enjoying the silence and the view.
Take a break from screens – place your phone in the mobile hotel and borrow an old-fashioned camera to capture the moments, in rhythm with nature.
