Swish through the snow on a traditional reindeer-pulled sleigh and learn about the ancient art of reindeer husbandry on this memorable 2-hour trip from Luosto. Meet a herd of adorable reindeers at an authentic reindeer farm and climb aboard your sleigh. Then, sit back and relax on a captivating ride along woodland paths, as your sleigh cruises through the snow to the tinkle of reindeer bells. Back at the farm, get to know more about reindeers and their traditional role in Lapland over coffee and a bun around the campfire.
After dressing in warm outdoor clothing, meet your friendly guide at the prearranged meeting point in Luosto. Then, hop aboard your comfortable minivan or coach and travel into the snowy countryside to a nearby reindeer farm.
Admire the picturesque setting as you arrive and meet the friendly herders, and be introduced to their gorgeous reindeers and as you chat, uncover fascinating facts about reindeer husbandry and how these endearingly gentle animals, together with wooden sleds, were the only mode of winter transport in centuries gone by.
Get a safety briefing and instructions on riding your sleigh, and then climb aboard. Snuggle under the cozy rugs, and revel in the experience as the reindeers pull you along a track through snow-covered pine woods. As you travel, be struck by the all-enveloping silence: a peace that only seems to amplify the crunch of your sleigh runners and tinkle of reindeer bells.
After a roughly 30-minute sleigh ride, return to the farm and chat with the herders around a blazing campfire. Enjoy a cup of hot coffee and a sweet bun as you ask any questions you have and discover more about life on the farm and the natures of these wonderful Arctic animals.
Then, say your goodbyes and board your minivan or coach again. Your experience finishes with a drop-off back at the original start point.
