Riding Tour with Finnhorses at Santa Claus Village
Description
The Finnhorse is a cooperative, sweet and reliable co-worker. On horseback you can experience the untouched nature of Lapland. In autumn you can enjoy the colourful forest scenery with autumn foliage, in the winter you'll hear the snow crunch beneath the hooves as snowcovered trees bend above our trail. In the spring the bright sunshine will glisten on the snow and you can hear the song of the first migratory birds and feel the warmth of the sun. In the summertime our hairy co-workers will mostly by vacationing in the pastures. Our horseback riding tours are slow-paced, so you don't need previous riding experience. Agenda: Short safety section, Horse riding tour (duration about 30-40min depending on weather conditions) and after the ride we enjoy a warm drink, gingerbread cookies and marshmallows at hut by the fire. If you are interested in a faster paced riding excursion or late night Aurora hunting ride, please contact us via email.

Just an incredible way to spend an hour and a bit - we rode through beautiful snowy forest and then returned with time to take photos with the horses and warm drinks and marshmallows in a hut - a must do and our seven year old thought it was fantastic. Note of caution - it’s at least a 10min walk from the main SCV area so build that in
We turned up having not pre booked as we had other activities booked at SCV and didn’t know if we would have time. We were greeted and told to wait a short while and then we could go out riding! We didn’t expect to be able to go so soon, so this was great! We were able to look at the horses in the fields and wait inside the office. The horses were all well cared for. Our guide asked if we had experience and catered to our experience. We ended up being the only couple so this was lovely. It was pretty riding through the snowy woodland. The Finnhorses were wonderfully safe, never spooked at a thing. Knew their job but had some go in them. It was enjoyable but ensure you bring gloves as it gets chilly!
Beautiful and magical ride through the snow-capped trees of Lapland. Just the right length for the cold weather and to keep my children happy. Friendly, helpful people. Finished the ride with a hut warmed by a fire, marshmallows and watm drinks.
This is a fun activity right next to Santa Claus Village. The horses were great - staff was super nice and the trail ride through the snowy woods was beautiful.
A past enjoy the landscape on horseback, the girls who take it very patient with the boys and do great. Repeat.
Beautiful moments riding in a winter wonderland. Just make sure you are properly dressed and have pocket heater with you during winter.
Thoroughly recommend this horse riding experience on Finnhorses. Had a fabulous ride through the forest with experienced & well looked after horses. A real treat.
I had so much fun I booked it again so I could do it a second time while I’m here, the staff were lovely, the horses were calm and adorable and the views were breathtaking
Very nice walk with very welcoming and smiling staff, beautiful landscape and very relaxing. The horses were very beautiful and very disciplined, we recommend this activity to do to recharge, at the end we were allowed a small fire in a cabin with biscuit, marshmallow and a hot drink with red fruits.
Wonderful! Very friendly staff, we felt supported and well taken care of! Very beautiful forest even though it’s very cold.
