Glide along a low-slung reindeer sledge into Lapland’s winter hush: snow-laden branches arcing over the trail, the measured clatter of harnesses and the clean, cold air. This short, traditional safari brings you into an intimate encounter with reindeer and ends back at the farm with hot beverages and home‑made sweet pastry in an old, cozy main building.

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

You board a low sledge (two people per sledge) and set off: the pace is unhurried, the world reduced to the scent of pine and the soft sound of runners on snow. The animals bring you into the silent white forest, then return you to the farm for feeding and a warm finish with drinks and pastry.
