Sweden Horseback Riding Adventures

RAVEN'S EYE HORSEBACK ADVENTURE

Ride through the mountains and valleys of this remote corner of west central Sweden, close to the border of Norway. Endless wilderness awaits you with numerous mountain tops above tree-line, and no one else in sight for days. You’ll find free flowing streams and rivers, trout-filled lakes and all the fresh air you can handle. This adventure gives “off-the-beaten-path” a whole new meaning.

Is it for me?
The horseback riding on this trip is rated as intermediate. You stay off the trails and ride the open range of rolling hills and gentle slopes. Because of the lack of trails, the terrain is uneven and sometimes wet. It’s important that you are a confident rider and that you enjoy all gaits in varied terrains.

"Excellent food – liked the efforts to incorporate typical swedish dishes, and everyone I’ve talked to about the trip was impressed by the tale of the support launch appearing with the smoked sik!"
