Reindeer Excursions

Reindeers are often associated with Santa Claus with the popularity of Rudolph and his companions assisting Santa to deliver those presents at Christmas.

In Lapland, the reindeer is considered to be a very important part of life and has been regarded as essential for life’s necessities for generations. They are a source of meat, clothing, home furnishings and transport.

They are farmed as semi wild animals, being free to roam in the large reindeer herding districts and outnumber the human population of Lapland.

For years the Lappish people have trained the reindeer for pulling sleds, which begins in their first year and can take until the reindeer is five years or older.

During our reindeer excursions you will visit a local reindeer farm, learn more about this animal, experience the magic of riding in a reindeer pulled sleigh and gain an insight into the life of a Lappish reindeer farmer.
