THE EXPERIENCE
Your day in the north.
There’s a lovely moment when the sleigh starts moving and you realise this is how people have travelled through Lapland for generations. With a reindeer ahead and snowy forest all around, the village suddenly feels a long way away.
We’ll take the bus to the farm, meet the reindeer and get ready to drive our own sleighs on an approximately 3 km forest ride. Take your time enjoying the snowy surroundings—this is a journey at the reindeer’s pace.
Back at the farm, get to know the animals and hear about the changing seasons of the reindeer year. Coffee or homemade berry juice and cookies make a welcome finish before the bus ride home. A little old-fashioned Lapland charm goes a long way.
