Welcome to Kiruna
Arrive at Kiruna airport, where you exit onto the tarmac and into the cold air. A popular Arctic destination, you’ll likely see fellow passengers taking selfies with the thermometer on the side of the terminal showing the frigid temperature. You’ll be met by staff from the farm and transferred about 20 minutes to be shown to your guesthouse. Depending on what time you arrive, you may want to add lunch, which is served at around 1pm and not included in the trip cost. In the afternoon you’ll meet at the barn for your first ride. It may already be getting dark! You’ll receive instruction on catching, feeding, brushing and tacking your Icelandic Horse and have a lesson in the indoor arena to familiarize yourself with the breed’s unique gaits and how to ask for and ride them.
Enjoy a 3 course dinner in the dining area attached to the barn. Perhaps you’ll see Northern Lights or moose out the window.
