Route details
We pick you up the first day and drive westwards to our farm, located in the small village Puoltsa.
In the afternoon we prepare the horses together and head out to the forest for a relaxing tour in easy pace. Our Icelandic horses are steady and know the route very well, even though it is dark outside. Hopefully the weather is clear, and we get to enjoy an amazing starry sky. With a bit of luck, we might spot the mythical northern lights.
After the tour, a warm fire is waiting in our “Goahti” (tepee in sami). Around the fire we have dinner consisting of local specialties, while you get the chance to learn more about our life and the Sami culture.

Tour reviews
- E elizabeth18 Jun, 2024about providerCalm and peaceful. The setup was excellent, as we were responsible for preparing our designated horse. The facility was lovely and impeccably maintained. The horses were incredibly calm and safe. We enjoyed cozy coffee breaks with freshly brewed coffee over a campfire. Highly recommended experience.18 Jun, 2024
- A Anky1 Jan, 2024about providerDuring a 4-day visit, comfortable stay in a cozy chalet (with 1 shared bathroom for 3 bedrooms) which is well-equipped and offers a range of activities such as snowmobiling, horseback riding during the day and at night (magical!) , visiting a reindeer herd to discover Sami culture and exploring the Icehotel. Also observed Elks without fear as they roam freely in the meadow with Icelandic ponies. The Northern Lights are a sight to behold, with their emerald green color appearing clearly in photos (see the photographers' explanations ;-).... The professional team at the chalet, led by Kerstin and Matti, provide excellent service and delicious homemade cuisine using local ingredients. This stay is perfect for nature lovers... who enjoy outdoor activities, animals, authenticity and simplicity! The Icelandic ponies are fantastic and calm and the environment is calm. The guests highly recommend this experience and hope to return to Lapponia to experience all eight seasons.1 Jan, 2024
