About this experience

This night rider's dream is for you who are not afraid of the dark or enjoy riding in the moonlight. A wet forest in autumn or a snowy landscape in winter makes the imagination run wild. The silent fairytale forest at night hides stories that you cannot see or hear in daylight. Forest animals are not afraid of horses, so we can encounter in the dark with moose, foxes or hares. Maybe you'll meet Santa's reindeer?

We ride through the Lappish forest and at the end of the trip we enjoy a warm juice and a small evening snack by the campfire.
