KIRUNA - in Swedish Lapland

Welcome to us for a great winter adventure in the north of Sweden with the best of activities. You get to go dog sledging, ride Icelandic horse, learn about the Sami culture and see reindeer, go by snow mobile and ice fish. You have Sami guides with you these days, very familiar with the area and culture. During these days we also visit the famous Icehotel. You will feel peace and quiet, and be much out in the nature. Hopefully we will see northern lights, reindeer, moose and other animals. What you will experience when you visit us is both genuine and exiting.

After arrival transfer to Puoltsa. We have an introduction and after that you have to dress for outdoor activities in winter time. We start with a riding tour in the forest this afternoon. Hopefully we see both reindeer and moose. The dinner this evening we eat in a Sami “hut” (goahti) sitting round the fire.

The second day we go ice fishing on a tarn up in the mountains and you go there by snowmobile. You learn how to drive snowmobile this day and are guided by a Sami guide who knows the nature and animals. It is very exciting to ice fish when you look through the hole in the ice and see the fish. In the evening you will have a riding class especially about riding Icelandic horses.

The next day you go for dog sledging, with a sledge pulled by sled dogs. In the afternoon you get to know the reindeer we have on the farm and the Sami culture. You can practice to throw lasso also. After a day outdoors you will sleep well.

The last day we visit the famous Icehotel and after lunch transfer to the airport/railway station.

You stay overnight in a house with three rooms and a shared kitchen, bathroom at our horse farm. We eat local specialities like game and fish. Minimum age for this tour is 12 years and minimum is 2 persons.
