The houses at Langedrag are situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty. They look like fairytale castles, 1000 metres above sea level with a breathtaking view over mountains and lakes. Eva and Edvin K. Thorson started building the farm in 1978. They wanted to realise their dream of a farm where visitors could experience nature and animals at a closer range than anywhere else. 'In awe of life' is the motto at Langedrag. In the Nature Park you can find animals like reindeer, mouflon sheep, mountain fox, horses, goats, wild boars and lynxes. Few other places in the world would let you enter the wolf enclosure, like you can at Langedrag. Every Thursday and Friday in summer you can accompany us on a trip to our summer farm in the mountains. At the farm we make crisp bread on traditional hot plates and tell the stories of the area and its people.

1. Les élans majestueux
Admirez le roi de la forêt lors d’un safari à l’élan. Les élans se promènent librement dans les forêts norvégiennes et peuvent apparaître n'importe où : veillez à garder vos distances pour ne pas les effrayer.
Si vous voulez les approcher, vous pouvez nourrir des élans apprivoisés dans des parcs naturels comme Elgtun, Langedrag et Bjørneparken.

Mettez le cap sur le nord pour voir d'énormes baleines se reproduire dans l'environnement arctique. Embarquez sur un bateau pour observer ces étonnants mammifères dans leur habitat naturel.
Pour augmenter vos chances de les apercevoir, partez en safari à la baleine depuis la côte d’Andøya dans le Vesterålen ou au large de Tromsø.
3. Les rennes singuliers
Les rennes ont toujours été importants dans le quotidien et la culture des Samis.
Vous pouvez les nourrir et faire des promenades en traîneau ou, si vous vous sentez l'âme aventurière, participer à leur migration printanière pendant que les éleveurs samis les déplacent des pâturages d'hiver vers les zones de mise bas et de pâturage d'été, qui se trouvent le long de la côte. Tout le monde peut participer, à condition d'être en bonne forme physique.

Les safaris à l'aigle de mer vous permettent d'admirer la splendeur des paysages norvégiens à bord d'un bateau ouvert.

Ils adorent aussi les câlins, alors n'oubliez pas de les submerger d'amour avant de partir !

Profitez d'une séance d’observation des oiseaux. Observez les macareux colorés qui plongent à la recherche de poissons et se rassemblent pour nicher sur les falaises escarpées le long de la mer.
