Lapland in winter is a world of silence, snow and northern light.
The forests are covered in deep snow, the air is crisp and clear, and the northern lights often appear above the horizon on dark winter nights.
The Lapland Winter Riding Holiday at Ranch Kuulas allows guests to experience this environment through horses and traditional northern activities.
During the week, participants ride Finnhorses, Finland’s native horse breed. Known for their calm temperament and strength, they are perfectly suited for riding in winter terrain.
The program includes several guided trail rides through the surrounding forests and hills. Guests also experience a traditional horse-drawn sleigh ride, a winter activity that has been part of northern life for generations.
One day is reserved for exploring the city of Rovaniemi, including the famous Santa Claus Village. This gives guests the opportunity to see another side of Lapland while still enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the countryside ranch.
In the evenings, guests return to Ranch Kuulas to relax in the sauna, share meals prepared with local ingredients and enjoy the quiet rhythm of winter life.
The highlight for many visitors is the evening ride through the snowy forest while searching for the northern lights.
This holiday is designed to offer a complete winter experience in Lapland: horses, nature, culture and moments of deep calm.

The Holiday of Your Dreams Awaits


The Ranch & Our Way of Working

About us
We are a small working ranch outside Rovaniemi, where we live and work with Finnhorses throughout the year. Our riding takes place on forest trails and open terrain shaped by the northern seasons, using Finland’s native horse breed known for its strength, steady temperament, and long history.
We guide our rides in small groups and match each horse carefully to the rider’s experience. Alongside riding, we prepare meals at Restaurant Loimu in a wood-fired oven and are opening farmhouse-style accommodation in summer 2026 for guests who want to stay longer in a quiet rural setting.
Responsibility
At Ranch Kuulas, responsibility is part of everyday life. We care for our horses, nature and surroundings with respect, following sustainable practices and traditional ways of working. Our goal is to create experiences that feel meaningful while preserving the environment for the future.
Our Horses
Our horses are at the heart of Ranch Kuulas. From Finnish Finnhorses to Arctic horses, each one is carefully trained and well cared for. Known for their calm temperament and strength, they make every riding experience safe, steady and deeply connected to nature.
