Langedrag Nature Park is located between Numedal and Hallingdal, just an hour’s drive from Geilo. The park is home to over 300 animals across about 20 species. At Langedrag, you can get up close with both domestic and wild animals, promising a memorable experience. The park also features large play areas, various activities, a café, a warm lounge, and accommodation options. Langedrag is open daily from 10:00 to 18:00 (except May 17, December 24, and December 25).
One of the park’s most unique experiences is the chance to visit the wolves. Here, you can join an experienced guide to get close to three wolves and learn about their language. This can be combined with a visit to the lynxes, where you can accompany a guide to meet nine lynxes. During the lynx tour, you will learn about these elusive predators.
How about a bit of fox massage? The Revecamp experience allows you to interact with three tame Arctic foxes who eagerly welcome visitors with "treats" on hand. This is a unique opportunity to get close to these polar predators, learn about them, and even try to teach them tricks.
Guided tours are also available (included in the admission ticket) to provide insights into the different species and the park's history.

On a winter day in 1974, Edvin and Eva Thorson discovered Langedrag while skiing. Edvin, the founder of E.K.T health shirts and E.K.T Riding School in Oslo, began developing the park in 1977, and the first school groups were welcomed the following year. Edvin's philosophy, which guided both the health shirts and Langedrag, is that "Nature is our best teacher." Arne Nævra lived at Langedrag for a year and filmed everything happening on the farm. In 2001, the series "Vi på Langedrag" aired on NRK and was a great success, leading to up to 3000 visitors per day.
