The sun is not setting at all during summer time in Lapland.

Spend a summer night in the company of Icelandic horses! The horses are small, cute and charming, yet strong, tough and sure-footed. Icelandic horses are often mentioned in Icelandic sagas; in days gone by, they were used as Vikings' warhorses, and were greatly respected.

Icelandic horses have five gaits: walk, trot, canter, pace and a special one called 'tölt'. 'Tölt' is a pleasant gait, where the rider sits as if in an armchair.

No previous experience is required for the trek, as our good-natured, gentle horses can also take beginners safely on their backs into the forest or on the fells.
