Reindeer Farm & Sled Riding

Meet Lapland's reindeer, hear local stories and enjoy a peaceful sled ride through snowy forests.

Why This Experience Is Different

Reindeer herding has been part of life in Lapland for generations.

We'll visit a traditional family farm, spend time with the reindeer and hear the stories behind one of Lapland's oldest ways of life.

Then we'll head into the snowy forest for a peaceful sled ride before warming up with hot drinks and something to eat.

It's a relaxed experience that everyone can enjoy.

What to Expect

  • Meet the reindeer – Spend time at a traditional family farm, where you’ll get close to the animals and learn how reindeer herding has shaped life in Lapland for generations.
  • Hear local stories – Hear real stories from the herders and get a closer look at how they care for their reindeer through the seasons.
  • Enjoy a private sled ride – Glide through snowy forest trails on a quiet, slow-moving reindeer sled. No crowds — just winter landscapes, soft sounds, and Arctic calm.
  • Warm drinks & snacks – We’ll make a cosy stop with something warm to drink and a light snack to keep everyone comfortable.
  • Relax and take your time – This is a calm, family-friendly experience that’s perfect for children, couples, and anyone looking for a peaceful Arctic moment.
