Experience the authentic culture of Lappish reindeer herders and create cherished memories on this short yet unforgettable program.
Fun program for the whole family. You’ll get a bunch of memorable experiences of Lappish reindeer herders’ culture on this short program. You will visit an old reindeer farm that dates back more than 150 years. It lies on the bank of the longest river in Lapland and is surrounded by taiga forest.
You will be guided to the reindeer sleds and go for a reindeer ride (about 1 km) through the beautiful pine forest. Our guide will take you inside the reindeer corral, where you can experience “reindeer therapy” - a close encounter with young reindeer calves. You will be able to take pictures with the reindeer and feed them with lichen.
You can also check out old buildings around the farm, which have a nice collection of old Lappish artifacts from the reindeer herders. After the ride, you can taste Finnish warm berry juice in the old café and buy fresh homemade donuts (traditional “munkki” in Finnish) or other snacks, souvenirs from reindeer antlers, and conserves from local berries.
