the special gait of the Icelandic horses, the "tölt". Up on the treeless
mountain Björkfjället there are some stunning steep mountains and large vast
expanses. The riding tempo varies from walking pace to canter. Lunch is eaten
outdoors. We ride about 900 meters above sea level. There are possibilities to
see reindeer, mountain-skua, buzzard and golden eagle. Oppurtunity to practice
Sami lasso techniques will come in the evening . Accommodation in our cot on
Thermarests and reindeer skins. Cooking is done over an open fire/gas stove.
