    Description

    During this visit we go to a reindeer farm with a car. It is considered rude to ask a herder the exact amount of reindeer they have. But on this farm you will soon realize there are hundreds of them here. From the herder you will hear stories of the animals, their predators and the nature they live in. You get to feed and pet the reindeer and get many pictures with them. At a traditional kota teepee you will enjoy fresh coffee made by the open fire and a traditional local sweet pastry. The main event is the sleigh ride, you will drive 1,5km with the reindeer among the forest trees. You also have a chance to visit a crafting studio where you can buy handmade souvenirs made from materials gotten from the reindeer.

    The activities are open departures and program will be done if minimum 4 persons is joining.  We will notify you at the latest by 3 p.m. the day before if the program is cancelled.
