2.Rovaniemi: Winter Horseback Ride on Snowy Hills and Forests

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 11 reviews · 2 - 4 hours · from $182Best value

Ride a steady Finnish horse through snowy forest trails at Ranch Kuulas, about 40 minutes north of Rovaniemi. Your guide gives a riding introduction, leads a small group of up to six, and takes you to a scenic hilltop. You can also meet farm animals and request a private transfer.

“The location , the horses, the absolute stunning scenery, the host and especially my guide Sara made this excursion a dream. The ranch really takes care of their horses. You ride up into the forest and the trees are so beautiful with the snow heavy on them . This experience was way better than I could have imagined.”
