Overview

Skip the Christmas cartoons—this is the real reindeer sleigh experience. Settle into a cozy sleigh and let these iconic Arctic animals guide you along snowy trails, carefully prepared using stored snow from the previous winter. The ride is calm and unhurried, giving you time to relax and take in the quiet sounds of nature.

Afterwards, warm up by the fire with a hot drink while hearing stories about traditional reindeer herding. This tour offers a genuine glimpse into the Lappish way of life, leaving you with both memorable experiences and a deeper understanding of local traditions.

What's included

  • Hot drink
  • Transfers (if needed, from Rovaniemi city center or Santa Claus Village to Apukka Resort and back)
  • Winter clothing (thermal overall, thermal boots, woolen socks, mittens)
  • 1-2 km reindeer sleigh ride

What to expect

Long before modern travel, people in Lapland moved across these landscapes by reindeer-drawn sleigh. Today, you can experience this traditional and peaceful way of getting around the Arctic for yourself.
