Unique Meeting the Reindeer like a local with a snowmobile sled, Levi

3 hours

Easy

Once in a lifetime experience of meeting reindeer in the traditional way on a local reindeer farm

We offer you the once in a lifetime experience of meeting reindeer in the traditional way on a local reindeer farm. Take advantage of the exclusive private experience just for our small group. Avoid the tourist buzz and crowds.

First, we will get you dressed in warm winter clothing. Then you will be seated in a snowmobile sled and will go for a short sled ride pulled by a snowmobile. We will arrive straight to the reindeer corral and in a blink of an eye you will be surrounded by the “sea” of reindeer. Our host, the owner of the reindeer farm, will greet you and help you to get acquainted with the Lappish reindeer husbandry culture. You will learn how to catch a reindeer with a lasso and to put a harness and feed them and will learn a lot of interesting facts about the reindeer. The farm is located in a beautiful spot with a nice view to Kätkä fell. You will have good chances to take many nice photos of the reindeer in nature. You will spend about 1 hour outside with these arctic animals, get to know them closer and experience what’s called “a reindeer therapy”.

As you start to feel chilly, we will invite you inside the traditional Lappish tepee. Get yourself comfortable close to the fire and we will offer you a warm drink of your choice: herbal tea (naturally decaffeinated), coffee or hot chocolate. Participation in the reindeer work outside naturally increases your appetite, and we offer you locally made reindeer sausages to grill in the fire and will fry pancakes. While you’re enjoying the snacks, the reindeer host will continue with storytelling about the reindeer and arctic way of living. You can ask him more questions if you feel like it. You will return to Levi by car.

        Important Information for Families with Kids:

        This activity is recommended for families with children aged 10 and above. However, its suitability depends on your child's temperament and your commitment as parents to take extra responsibility and supervise your children closely throughout the program.

        Key Points to Consider:

        Outdoor Conditions:
        The large part of the program takes place outdoors in the cold temperatures and lasts for an extended period. Ensure your children are comfortable in such conditions and dressed warmly to stay protected.

        Reindeer Interaction:
        Reindeer will roam freely around the group during the activity. Parents must maintain constant supervision of their children to ensure everyone's safety. The reindeer on the farm are semi-wild animals that are not tamed to interact with humans. As such, they may become startled by sudden movements, loud noises, or a person standing too close. When frightened, the reindeer may run in a certain direction and accidentally hit a person in their path, including with their antlers or hooves. Our company and the reindeer farm are not liable for any accidents involving reindeer that may occur during the program.

        Child’s Temperament:
        This activity is ideal for calm and composed children who can remain relaxed and quiet. If your child exhibits more active behavior and may engage in unexpected actions (such as running, shouting, or making sudden movements like waving their arms), the likelihood of an accident increases. Therefore, our company does not take responsibility for any potential consequences; this responsibility lies entirely with the parents.

        By taking these factors into account, you can make an informed decision about whether this program is a good match for your family.

        What to bring
          • We strongly recommend wearing layers clothes under warm winter clothing and 2 woolen socks in your shoes.
          • Recommended child age 10+
