Sweden Frosty Trails

You go snowmobiling, two persons on each snowmobile. You learn how to drive snowmobile this day and have outdoor lunch prepared over open fire. 

In the evening you have then a riding tour in the dark looking for northern lights and spend the evening in the goahti (Sami hut) round the fire eating dinner. We serve local specialities, like game and fish. 

You will meet reindeer, try reindeer sledging, learn about Sami culture and life. 

In the afternoon you visit the famous ICEHOTEL, have dinner at the restaurant and in the evening you come back to the farm. This is not only a hotel but also an art exhibition with ever-changing art made out of ice and snow.

You go riding and in the afternoon we visit the town Kiruna and the Sami museum. The Sami people are found in four countries: Russia, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. This big land area is called Sápmi. Sápmi covers all the northern part of the cap of the north, from the Russian Kola Peninsula in the east to Dalarna in the south. Sápmi as a concept includes both the land Sápmi and the Sami people.

The Sami language has several different varieties, of which North Sami has the most speakers. Sami is a Finnish-Ugrian language. Far from all Sami people can speak Sami today. 

Instead of visiting Kiruna you can have a dog sledging tour SEK 2900 extra p/p (2p sharing sledge, lunch included)

You ride in the forest, probably seeing moose. You will feel peace and quiet, and be much out in the nature. The moose has always been an important hunting prey for the Sami people. You can also see that on old rock carvings. The hunting has a big part for the livelihood for the Sami people who are living in the traditional sectors. During wintertime, the moose mostly feed on branches and bark. 

In the afternoon you will have a sauna, from where you have a beautiful view over the river and mountains.

We ride in the forest. Experience the thrill of riding through snowy landscapes on forest trails.

In the afternoon we ride on the oval track. Most of the activities we do from our farm, but to some of them we go by car and the activities are probably done in another order than in this program and we always have to respect the winter weather.

Breakfast and transfer back to Kiruna.
