Description

Visit a husky and reindeer farm, enjoy two animal-drawn sleigh rides and drive a snowmobile through the Lapland forest!

You'll enjoy a Rovaniemi transfer and head for the snowy forests of Lapland.

You'll arrive at a traditional Lapp farm, home to huskies and reindeer. You'll meet the herders, from the Sami people, an indigenous people of Lapland. They'll tell you more about life on the farm and how they care for the animals on a daily basis in Lapland's distinctive climate.

You'll become familiar with reindeer and huskies. If you're comfortable enough, you can follow the herders to feed the reindeer, don't worry they're very gentle animals and used to living in groups.

You'll then be equipped for the extreme cold: wetsuit, boots, gloves, balaclava and helmet, and climb aboard a sled. You'll then enjoy a short reindeer-drawn sleigh ride, followed by a second short dog sled ride. During these two rides, you'll discover the different sensations offered by a sled pulled by reindeer, and you'll be able to observe the snowy landscapes of Lapland.

Your driver guide will then take you to a snowmobile rental agency. You'll suit up and the professionals will give you a few safety instructions, then you'll hop on your snowmobile to discover Lapland's picture-postcard landscapes. There will be two of you on a snowmobile, a driver and a passenger; if the passenger also has a valid driving license you can swap places during the ride.

You'll enjoy an hour-long snowmobile ride, crossing forests and even an icy lake.

At the end of your activity, you'll be driven back to Rovaniemi, after a day full of Lapland thrills.
