Driving through the snowy landscape you'll reach the home of the reindeer and get to meet these enchanting animals for yourself. Then, climb into a sleigh, warm and cosy under your blanket, for a wonderful journey pulled by the reindeer through the wilderness, across pristine white snow and through magical forests. Whereas snowmobiling and husky sledding can be swift and noisy, the gentle plodding of the reindeer's hooves allows you to listen to your peaceful surroundings, embracing the calm and tranquil atmosphere with just the occasional grunt from your majestic driver.
After your joyful ride you'll meet the reindeer herder at a tradition Lappish Kota- a hut used by the indigenous Sami people. You'll enjoy a delicious lunch cooked over an open fire and listen to fascinating stories about the traditional life in Lapland, which evolves around the reindeer.
