Northern Lights tour on Horseback - Ice Hotel Activity

Set out on an exciting riding tour into the winter night on Icelandic horses. Ride through the arctic nature and landscape in search of the Northern Lights.

The tour starts with a bus transfer to Ofelas icelandic horse farm where you get to meet the animals and prepare your own horse. Together with your horse, you will head out into the dark winter night, towards Sweden’s highest mountain range Kebnekaise, where you will hopefully see the Northern Lights dancing across the arctic sky. You might even spot a moose along the way. 

Back at the farm you will help to unsaddle your horse. A dinner with local specialties will be served in a traditional Sami hut. The evening and tour end with a transfer back to Ice Hotel.
