KIRUNA - in Swedish Lapland

Spend an exciting winter week with us and our Icelandic horses, and make a lot of other activities. It is exiting to ride in the snow, both in the forest on smaller tracks, on snowy roads and of course on ice. Except of riding tours we give you riding classes, visit the famous Icehotel, go ice fishing with snow mobile and go dog sledging during this week. You learn about the Sami culture and have Sami guides with you these days, very familiar with the area and culture. You will feel peace and quiet, and be much out in the nature. Hopefully you will see northern lights, reindeer, moose and other animals these days. What you will experience when you visit us is both genuine and exiting.

After transfer to our farm the first day you have an introduction and go on a riding tour in the afternoon. You spend the evening in the goahti (Sami hut) round the fire while the guide tells you about the Sami culture. 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. In the evening you will have a riding class especial about riding Icelandic horses.

The next day we go for a riding tour in the forest and after lunch we go by car to the famous Icehotel. The fourth day you go dog sledging and in the afternoon you visit the reindeer we have on the farm. There you can feed the reindeer and practice how to throw lasso. The fifth day you go for longer riding tour with outdoor lunch and in the afternoon we visit the city Kiruna and have a dinner in a restaurant. The next day we ride on the ice and have a riding class.

The last day we bring you back to Kiruna. During this week you stay overnight in a house on our small horse farm with three rooms, shared kitchen and bathroom. Our farm is beautiful located close to the Kalix river west of Kiruna. We serve you local specialities like game and fish. Maybe we make the activities in the program in another order.
