Incl. mountain walking with Faroese farmers, shearing, gathering, Faroese beer, Faroese food, pancakes
Would you like to experience the very core of Faroese culture? The ultimate sheep experience will make you feel like a true Faroese in the most beautiful surroundings.
The Faroese mountains hold some of the most beautiful spots in the world, and why not join the local farmers in their exciting task of gathering the sheep for shearing the sheep. We call it going "Á fjall", which literally means "on mountain" where the sheep are.
You will experience and learn how they gather the sheep, how to shear the sheep and try it out if you like, and of course there will be plenty of local Faroese beer, Faroese food, and pancakes.

The sheep on the Faroe Islands are free to roam across the valleys, high up in the mountains and even on the most vertical of cliff edges that drop straight down into the ocean.
There’s an old tale that the Faroese sheep have longer legs on one side of their body because they spend most of their lives walking in such places. Herding them requires a lot of manpower, and without a sheepdog it can make the day’s work over 12 hours long, and you can bet there’ll be a lot more walking.
The task of pulling over the sheep, shearing them carefully to avoid cutting the skin at their prominent hip and back bones, then cutting away any loose ends from when the animal had been wriggling around was tedious. Keeping it still was a task in itself, and I was definitely afraid of being kicked by their hard hooves.
This is a one-time thing, and you will be 1 of only 15-20 people experiencing this! Looking forward to having you with us! :)
