Like stepping into a slower rhythm of the North, this full-day ride takes you into the wide, open spaces of Levi, where the air feels clean enough to clear your head. Your Finn horse sets an easy pace, and soon the steady sound of hooves becomes the day’s quiet soundtrack.

With our calm, reliable horses and a guide who knows these trails by heart, you’ll follow forest paths and open fell views, stopping halfway to cook lunch over a campfire. There’s time to look around, breathe in the pine and simply enjoy being out in the middle of it all.

Groups are small, and when possible we divide riders by experience so everyone feels comfortable. Helmets are provided — you just dress for the weather and bring sturdy shoes. If you’re ready to spend a day outdoors and see Lapland in the most natural way, saddle up and come along!

    Just returned from our fantastic trip. My daughter and I went horseback riding guided by the wonderful Janka. Janka is exceptional and made us feel incredibly welcome. She was attentive, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable! We had a fantastic ride, so much so that my daughter went back two days later. (I'm a bit rusty after not riding for 4 years, so I was only comfortable with a fast trot.) Janka took my daughter on a more advanced ride, and the smile on her face when she returned was priceless. THANK YOU, Janka. We highly recommend it for an amazing horseback riding experience. We're already planning to visit again just to come here. The horses are absolutely gorgeous!!! Next time, I'll be sure to take a few lessons to regain more comfort in the saddle. This is truly the best place for horseback riding. Thanks again!

    We enjoyed a delightful horse riding tour in the snowy forest. It was absolutely wonderful, and the lady guiding us was incredibly kind. Just a heads-up, make sure to bundle up well—I ended up with sore feet afterwards! Despite that, it was still a fantastic experience.

    A 5-day horse trekking adventure around Pöyrisjärvi left a lasting impression and is an experience I'll cherish forever. The horses were incredible, and we had the opportunity to gallop on soft sand and swim with them in a lake. The diverse scenery and drinking from the rivers and creeks deepened my profound appreciation for Finnish nature. Our guide, Tanja, was exceptionally attentive, and her smile and laughter were true highlights of the trip. Everything went smoothly (thanks also to Juha) and we felt like a cohesive group trekking together, not just tourists. A big thank you to Päivi for organizing these unforgettable experiences for us to enjoy!
