After changing into safari gear and a short introduction to snowmobiling, we head to the snowy forests by snowmobiles. We stop to a reindeer farm where reindeer herder is already waiting for us with his four-legged friends. You will learn about the life of reindeers and herding, go on a 300m sledge ride pulled by Rudolph himself and feed the reindeers. After meeting the reindeers we fry sausages and enjoy coffee/tea/juice a Lappish teepee hut called kota, while the herder shares more stories about the life of a reindeer herder. Group can also visit a souvenir shop on the spot before heading back by snowmobiles.
