    About this experience

    When the jingle bells are ringing, you can get into the Christmas spirit even in the middle of summer. SCV's special surroundings and a Finnhorse glowing in freezing temperatures will take you back in time. The slow pace of travel gives you time to admire the surrounding landscape, perhaps find a destination for the next day or just forget about all the other everyday work.

    Brilliant activity!

    This was a brilliant experience! Short walk from Santa Village but felt a million miles away as no crowds and empty forest. Really a great time!

    Absolute recommendation

    A super nice ride, the lady was very friendly and told us a lot about the horses and other animals. After the sleigh ride we got hot drinks and cookies in a cute little wooden hat with fire. We would book it again anytime

    Amazing family run business ❤️

    So glad I booked the family trip 3 adults 2 children. The company is a warm family run business and it shows.. Very well organised going into the forest just an amazing feeling followed by having drinks and snacks afterwards it’s something very special.. we done 2 trips and my family enjoyed everyone off them …If you turn up without a booking and you wait they will try the hardest to fit you in … Very special run family business very hard to find . Thank you from the whole of my family to yours ❤️❤️❤️🍀👌

    Finnhorses travelling through SCV

    It’s a lovely family run business, my family of 6 had a wonderful time, the fin horses walk through the pathway of the main place in SCV, everyone was watching felt like royalty, the horse has a bell on it as you are passing, it was actually my favourite thing to do, followed by toasted marshmallows and berry juice and a talk about their very well looked after horses, if you get the chance book it, you won’t be disappointed, my family enjoyed every minute, thank you again x

    Wonderful walk in the heart of Lappish nature

    The ride was wonderful, in the middle of nature with an old sleigh all covered in fur, and they put a blanket over you so you don't get cold. The very very friendly guide told me things about the life of horses and more. And then they give you a hot drink with cookies in the typical tippy. Idyllic! I recommend it 100%

    Traditional Finnhorse Sleigh Ride at SCV (30 min): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovaniemi.

    How much does Traditional Finnhorse Sleigh Ride at SCV (30 min) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $77 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rovaniemi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Traditional Finnhorse Sleigh Ride at SCV (30 min) take?

    +

    Plan for about 0.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rovaniemi is not rushed.

    Is Traditional Finnhorse Sleigh Ride at SCV (30 min) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rovaniemi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Traditional Finnhorse Sleigh Ride at SCV (30 min)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Traditional Finnhorse Sleigh Ride at SCV (30 min) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Traditional Finnhorse Sleigh Ride at SCV (30 min)?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rovaniemi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rovaniemi and add a light layer if any part of the 0.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Traditional Finnhorse Sleigh Ride at SCV (30 min) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rovaniemi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Rovaniemi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Rovaniemi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Northern Lights Rovaniemi: Guaranteed Viewing & Unlimited Mileage, Rovaniemi: Korouoma Canyon & Frozen Waterfalls Tour with BBQ, Rovaniemi:%100 Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunt&Free Photos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Rovaniemi?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Rovaniemi?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
