Reindeer Farm Life by snowmobile

Head out. Be here. Bring home the story.

THE EXPERIENCE

Your day in the north.

We’ll arrive with the hum of snowmobiles and swap it for the gentle pace of a reindeer sleigh. This outing takes us along the winter trails to the farm, where we meet the animals behind one of Lapland’s oldest ways of getting around.

Take the reins of your own reindeer sleigh for an approximately 3 km ride through the forest. Watch the reindeer ahead, take in the snowy trees and enjoy the change of pace—you may find it’s surprisingly easy to leave the rest of the world behind.

There’s time at the farm to get to know the reindeer and hear about their year, with coffee or berry juice and cookies to enjoy. Then we’re back on the snowmobiles for the return ride.
