Imagine horseshoes creaking in the snow
and the smoke evolving from the horse’s nostrils as you ride
across the frozen rivers one day. The other day, the joy of
the arctic char you just pulled through the hole in the ice.
On the third day, the view from the top of the mountain you
ski and the tickling feeling inside you as your skis
slide down the slope. These feelings must be experienced for
real here with us at Ammarnäs.
Programme
Thursday
Arrival at Ammarnäs during the afternoon. We welcome you to
Ammarnäs at the Ammarnäs Inn with coffee and buns. It is at
the Inn you will live and have dinner during your stay at
Ammarnäs. Introduction of guides and programme of activities
and tips on some places to visit nearby as for example Sámi
handicraft and Naturum. Dinner and good night!
Friday
Breakfast at the Inn. Today you ride
together with Fjällhästen. Fjällhästen’s Icelandic horses
will take you on a day’s tour to the mountain residence
Örnbo. We ride along prepared trails and tracks leading
along the stream Tjulån and further crossing the river
Vindelälven. We reach Örnbo after a couple of hours ride
beautifully situated by the steep slopes above the lake Gautsträsk. We eat the lunch package we brought watching the
wide scenery. Done and good we saddle up our horses again
and ride back to Ammarnäs. During the day we have tried the
toelt and perhaps galloping for them who want to try it!
This tour is mostly a nature experience and suitable for
most riders, even if you are not used to riding. Children
that participate should be at least twelve years old and
used to riding.
Dinner at the Inn.
Saturday
With the Ammarnäs Fishing Center hosting
it is time to go ice fishing for arctic char after
breakfast. We go by snowmobile to the lake Näsbergstjärn,
beautifully situated at 688 m above sea level in the birch
forest region, about four km north of Ammarnäs.
The guide, well-familiar with the lake, starts drilling a
hole in the ice. If light conditions permit peek fishing is
exciting. You see the fish moving around the hook and you
have to hook it at exactly the right moment. Your guide will
teach you his best tricks and keep the coffee pot warm over
the open fire.
Lunch outside during the day and later dinner at the Inn.
Sunday
Take the chance to visit Ammarnäs’ Naturum
after breakfast. Here you will find information about the
whole nature reserve of Vindelfjällen with its fauna and
different types of nature. A visit to the well-known
handicraft women Margareta Gran and Berit Nilsson is a must!
Genuine Sámi handicraft made of tin, root and cloth. Their
work is at display at museums and exhibitions around the
world. Take the opportunity to buy world-class Sámi
handicraft. Lunch at The Ammarnäs Inn and thereafter
departure for home. |
