1 km Lappish village and reindeer express safari, Levi

Fun program for the whole family. You’ll get a bunch of memorable experiences of Lappish reindeer herders’ culture on this short program. 

You will visit an old reindeer farm that dates back more than 150 years. It lies on the bank of the longest river in Lapland and is surrounded by taiga forest. You will be guided to the reindeer sleds and go for a reindeer ride (about 1 km) through the beautiful pine forest. Our guide will take you inside the reindeer corral, where you can experience a “reindeer therapy” - close encounter with young reindeer calves. You’ll be able to take pictures with the reindeers and feed them with lichen. 

You can also check out old buildings around the farm, which have a nice collection of old Lappish artifacts from the reindeer herders. After the ride, you can taste Finnish warm berry juice in the old café and buy fresh home-made donuts (traditional “munkki” in Finnish) or other snacks, souvenirs from reindeer antlers and conserves from local berries.

Reindeers are semi-wild animals and even being used to living next to people, they are quite shy and can be unpredictable. Please always follow the instructions given by the guide and try to be calm and careful when close to the reindeers.
