Horse Riding
- Northern Lights
- Horse Rides
Enjoying a horse back-ride (or perhaps a sleigh ride) is a gentle way to take in your surroundings whilst in Lapland. The local horses to Lapland are strong and loving creatures, who wouldn’t turn their nose up at a little snack if offered. Together, you and the horses can take a memorable ride around the local forests and breathe in the wonderfully fresh air.
You can either opt to go for a horse ride, or if you would prefer to huddle up warmly as a family, you can enjoy a sleigh ride instead.
Our excursions are added extras you can book as part of your Lapland holiday.
Good to know -
- There is the option for both beginner horse riders to enjoy this experience, but also advanced horse riders to make the most of the environment whilst riding.
