Reindeer Farm Visit in Lapland

What to Expect:

Discover the rich traditions of Lapland with a visit to an authentic reindeer farm, where you can learn about the ancient practice of reindeer herding and enjoy a scenic sleigh ride through the snowy wilderness. This experience offers a unique opportunity to connect with the local culture, feed and interact with the reindeer, and take a relaxing ride on a traditional sleigh pulled by these gentle animals.

Your journey begins with a transfer to a reindeer farm, located in the serene countryside, far from the hustle and bustle of the town. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed by the local herders who will guide you through the farm and introduce you to the charming reindeer. Learn about the life of these antlered creatures, their natural diet, and how they have adapted to survive in the cold northern winters. You’ll even have the chance to feed them some of their favorite treats, such as lichen and tree buds, and capture memorable photos with these iconic animals.

Next, you’ll hop on a traditional reindeer sleigh for a ride through the wintry landscape. Wrapped in warm blankets, you can sit back and enjoy the peaceful journey as the reindeer take you on a leisurely ride through snow-covered forests and across frozen lakes. The pace of the sleigh ride is gentle, allowing you to fully appreciate the beauty of the surroundings and perhaps spot other Arctic wildlife along the way. Depending on your preference, sleigh rides can vary in length, from a short 600-meter loop to a more extended 3-kilometer adventure.

Dive into the Lappish Culture:

After the sleigh ride, warm up by a campfire in a cozy hut and enjoy traditional Lappish refreshments, such as sooty pot coffee, hot chocolate, and juice. This is a perfect opportunity to learn more about the history and cultural significance of reindeer herding from the local herders themselves. Hear stories of their way of life and how they continue to practice this ancient livelihood that has been passed down through generations.
