    What To Expect

    After being picked up from your hotel, you will head to an authentic reindeer farm outside Rovaniemi. You will meet the herders and their animals, learn about their lifestyles and about reindeer husbandry. Because this is the first visit of the day, you will also get the chance observe the reindeers beeing fed with their favourite food.

    You will practice your driving skills with a self-driven short sleigh ride of 400 m (around 2-3 min).
