Nilsstua Alpaca Garden

Welcome to Nilsstua farm in Hurdal. 

Here you can take part in alpaca walking and buy unique products and yarns from our own alpacas.

At the farm you will meet Ola Bjerke and Maiken Tømta. A cohabiting couple who at the turn of the year 2018, together with 3 dogs, took over Ola's family farm where the production of roughage was the operation of the farm. At Nilsstua, production of hay is still taking place, but ever since Maiken and Ola took over in 2018, they have wanted to expand – and in 2019 the first alpacas moved in. They have become part of the family at Nilsstua. Alvin and the gang are calm and very special animals with a lot of personality that brings joy and positive energy into everyday life on the farm. 

Much of the reason why the choice fell on alpacas was fiber production – a luxurious fiber that is spun into yarn, in addition to their calm nature. The farm focuses on breeding animals with good fiber quality and with full control of the entire process so that the animals have the best possible. Now, on the other hand, it is desired that more people get to experience how beautiful the alpacas are and get to know them better up close. Here you can take part in alpaca walking and buy unique products and yarns from our own alpacas. You will find us 1 hour north of Oslo. 

Alvin and the gang on the farm are looking forward to meeting you – Welcome!

Walking with Alpacas

Alexandra Martinsen and Bjørn Brændshøi, two passionate alpaca breeders with more than 10 years experience. We breed alpacas for their luxurious wool and also for their mild, gentle presence which makes them perfect for human interaction. Alexandra is a teacher and she uses the alpacas in her work with children with extra needs. Bjørn is an engineer and focuses on breeding techniques and farm management. Our goal is to let people experience the wonderful alpaca up close and personal and we love seing sparkles in our visitors eyes when they do!

What we’ll do

You will be met by your host who will take you into the alpaca shed and into their field and let you meet the alpacas up close and personal. You will be taught what alpacas are, their origin, their history and of course why we have alpacas today and what we use them for. You will then help out by putting halter and leads on the alpacas, before each and one is given the responsibility for one of the alpacas for the rest of the activity, which takes approximately two hours in total. You will be able to pet the alpacas, take selfies and otherwise get a true and close connection with these very special creatures. We will then walk the alpacas on a scenic nature path in typical Norwegian landscape; fields, woods and hills – please wear clothes and footwear accordingly! We can adapt to visitor special needs. During the whole walk, your host will tell and talk about the alpacas adapted to your liking. We can arrange a typical Norwegian outdoor lunch on our camp site in the woods, using bondfire (if season). Contact us to plan such an outdoor lunch session accompanied by the alpacas! Contact us if your preferred date is not available when booking. Please note that we need to take the weather into account as this is an outdoor activity. If it is raining, it will not be fun for anyone (including the alpacas!).

What else you should know

Remember that the alpaca walk will be outdoors, in the nature. You will need to dress accordingly. Wear warm clothes if cold, especially gloves (you will be leading the alpaca) and hiking boots.

What to bring

Warm clothes (including gloves!) – if cold

Hiking boots or similar – if wet/snow

Water bottle – if hot

Welcome to us and our alpacas!
