Once in a lifetime experience of meeting reindeer in the traditional way on a local reindeer farm in Levi
MEET THE REINDEER LIKE A LOCAL WITH A SNOWMOBILE SLED
Join us for an unforgettable experience at a local reindeer farm in Levi, designed exclusively for our small groups to escape the tourist crowds. What to expect:
First, you'll be outfitted in warm winter clothing.
Then, seated in a snowmobile sled, you’ll take a brief ride to the reindeer corral.
Instantly, you’ll find yourself surrounded by a “sea” of reindeer.
The farm’s owner will welcome you and introduce you to Lappish reindeer husbandry. You’ll learn to catch a reindeer with a lasso, harness them, and feed them, while discovering fascinating reindeer facts. Situated in a picturesque location with views of Kätkä fell, the farm offers excellent photo opportunities of the reindeer in their natural habitat.
You’ll spend about an hour outside with these arctic animals, getting to know them and experiencing what’s known as "reindeer therapy".
As you begin to feel chilly, we’ll invite you into a traditional Lappish tepee. Get cozy by the fire and enjoy a warm drink of your choice: herbal tea (naturally decaffeinated), coffee, or hot chocolate. Working with the reindeer outside will naturally increase your appetite, so we’ll provide locally made reindeer sausages to grill over the fire and fry pancakes. While you savor the snacks, the host will share stories about reindeer and Arctic life. Feel free to ask any questions.
You will return to Levi by car.

Reindeer are semi-wild animals and even being used to living next to people, they are quite shy and can be unpredictable. Please always follow the instructions given by the guide and try to be calm and careful when close to the reindeers.
This activity involves a ride in a snowmobile sled. According to Finnish law you must wear a helmet even when riding in a sled. We will get you fully equipped for this ride.
For the food we use only locally produced high quality ingredients.
Please be at least 20 min before pick up time to get dressed.
Important Information for Families with Kids:
This activity is recommended for families with children aged 10 and above. However, its suitability depends on your child's temperament and your commitment as parents to take extra responsibility and supervise your children closely throughout the program.
Key Points to Consider:
Outdoor Conditions:
The large part of the program takes place outdoors in the cold temperatures and lasts for an extended period. Ensure your children are comfortable in such conditions and dressed warmly to stay protected.
Reindeer Interaction:
Reindeer will roam freely around the group during the activity. Parents must maintain constant supervision of their children to ensure everyone's safety. The reindeer on the farm are semi-wild animals that are not tamed to interact with humans. As such, they may become startled by sudden movements, loud noises, or a person standing too close. When frightened, the reindeer may run in a certain direction and accidentally hit a person in their path, including with their antlers or hooves. Our company and the reindeer farm are not liable for any accidents involving reindeer that may occur during the program.
Child’s Temperament:
This activity is ideal for calm and composed children who can remain relaxed and quiet. If your child exhibits more active behavior and may engage in unexpected actions (such as running, shouting, or making sudden movements like waving their arms), the likelihood of an accident increases. Therefore, our company does not take responsibility for any potential consequences; this responsibility lies entirely with the parents.
By taking these factors into account, you can make an informed decision about whether this program is a good match for your family.
