about provider

Calm 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.

about provider

During 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.

about provider

We had a great time on both the snowmobile tour and the horseriding tour with this team. Matte and Kirsten, the owners and operators of the tours, truly made our vacation special. Both trips were fantastic, and we had wonderful meals with them and other guests. It felt like we were part of a Swedish family. The farm is stunning, and we had an unforgettable experience. We can't wait to go back. These tours are a must!
