What to expect
The experience begins at the stable, where you meet your gentle Finnhorse and watch as the horse is prepared for the journey. Your guide introduces you to traditional Finnish harnessing and shares stories about the Finnhorse—Finland’s national horse and a trusted companion of Finnish people for generations.
Once the harness and the sleigh is ready, it is time to climb aboard. Wrapped in warm blankets, you leave the lights of Santa Claus Village behind and follow the quiet forest paths.
The sleigh glides between trees while the sound of hooves sets a peaceful rhythm. There are no engines and no rush—only the gentle movement of the sleigh, the crisp Arctic air and the deep silence of the winter forest.
After the ride, the warmth of a traditional kota awaits. Gather around the fire with your guide and enjoy a hot drink, gingerbread cookies and marshmallows. This is a moment to ask questions and hear more about the Finnhorse, local traditions and life in Lapland.
Magical Sleigh Ride brings together traditional harnessing, an atmospheric forest journey and a cosy moment by the fire. It is an unhurried experience filled with the warmth, stories and quiet magic of Lapland.
