Arctic Nature Trips – Feel Lapland by Horse

Trail Riding in Every Season

Trail riding trips through the stunning countryside of Lapland are available throughout autumn, winter, and spring. Based near Kemi in Simo, our location at Viantienjoentie 138, 95225 Viantie, SIMO, provides easy access to wilderness adventures. Our horses, primarily Finnhorses and American warm-blood trotters, provide a safe and enjoyable riding experience, even for total beginners. Whether you’re looking for a leisurely ride or a more tailored experience, all our activities can be customized to your preferences, ensuring a memorable adventure.

Summer Magic: Midnight Sun Rides and Beyond

Lapland’s Arctic summer is filled with the magic of the midnight sun, where you can enjoy trail riding, carriage driving, and even swimming with or without horses. Embark on overnight trips into the wilderness, with the opportunity to relax in a traditional Finnish sauna after a day of outdoor excitement. For families or friends, private rides are arranged so you can enjoy the pristine nature at your own pace, away from the crowds.

Winter Adventures in the Snow

Open by request, our winter rides take place mainly during the daytime. The snow illuminates the paths well enough to ride safely, and our horses are experienced in navigating the dark forest. You can experience private horse trips through snow-covered forests, sleigh driving, skiing, or even snowboarding behind a horse.

For the adventurous, combine ice swimming with a sauna session or enjoy the thrill of downhill skiing. Evening rides offer the chance to witness the spectacular Northern Lights, with the snow lighting up your path in the otherwise dark forest.

Family-Friendly Fun

Private rides are organized exclusively for your family or close friends, ensuring an intimate experience without large groups. For families, children can enjoy sledge rides and playtime with our friendly animals—dogs, cats, and chickens—while parents explore other activities. Toys are available indoors for children if a parent prefers not to ride.

Traditional Wilderness Cottage and Sauna

A privately owned, rentable wilderness cottage offers an authentic Lapland experience, complete with a traditional wooden sauna and customizable sauna programs. During winter, guests can also enjoy fishing and ice-fishing near Kemi.

Beyond Riding: Outdoor Activities for All

Beyond riding, there are plenty of activities to fill your days. Try your hand at fishing or ice-fishing, rent a cozy wilderness cottage, or unwind with sauna programs. Berry picking, guided walking trips with a fireside snack, and winter sports like snowshoeing and kick-sledging are also available.

Trail Rides for All Levels

Our typical winter rides last 1 hour, with 2-hour rides available for more experienced riders. Longer trips can be arranged for seasoned wilderness explorers and experienced riders, as beginners might find extended rides challenging in Lapland’s rugged nature.

For those seeking a deeper adventure, 1- or 2-day trail rides are available, including all meals, homemade food, tent accommodations by a fireplace, a rental cottage, and sauna access. For inquiries about longer rides, feel free to reach out via email.
