Like a slow breath drawn by the northern forest, this journey opens with silence so pure that every hoofbeat feels like a heartbeat of Lapland itself. Here the air is crisp enough to taste, the horizon wide enough to forget time, and the bond between human and horse grows naturally with each stride.

Over two days you’ll ride across shifting mountain scenery, guide your own Finnish horse, and join in simple daily tasks that quickly turn into quiet rituals. Warm lunches on the trail, fragrant campfire coffee, unhurried breaks with vast landscapes around you, and evenings shared in gentle company create a rhythm that feels both grounding and quietly thrilling.

Nights spend in cosy Aurora Wilderness cabins, deep in the tranquillity of untouched nature. After the ride, the sauna’s warmth softens every muscle and thought, preparing you for another day. Saddle up, breathe deeply, and let Lapland carry you farther than you expected!

Route details

Day 1
Into the Quiet Wild

When you arrive at the Camp in the morning, your guide greets you and introduces you to the horses. You’ll receive instructions for trail riding, learn the basics of safety, and prepare your saddle bags before setting off. Along the way, we pause for a relaxed outdoor lunch and take time to hear interesting facts about the surrounding nature and wildlife.

Once we return to the camp, we look after the horses and then walk to the cosy Aurora Wilderness cabins, where you will spend the night. These cabins have large windows and a roof window, perfect for watching the evening sky. Dinner made with local ingredients awaits, followed by a warm wood-fired sauna and a calm summer night before heading to sleep.

    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!
