What to expect

Where a husky safari is fast and energetic, a reindeer sled moves at an entirely different rhythm. The pace is slow, the sound almost absent, and the forest closes in around you.

You will meet your guide and the herd before setting out, learning something of how these animals have shaped life in Lapland for centuries. The journey itself asks nothing of you but attention.

It is the quietest way to travel through the Arctic, and for many guests the one they remember longest.

Your visit begins at a working reindeer farm, where you are introduced to the herd and to the herder who cares for them. Feeding the animals by hand is usually part of the welcome.

The sled ride follows a trail through snow-covered forest. Wrapped in furs and blankets, you travel at walking pace while the runners move almost soundlessly over the snow, a rhythm that has carried people across this landscape for generations.

Afterwards there is time by the fire in a traditional kota, with warm berry juice and stories about reindeer herding, the Sami calendar and how the seasons are read here.

Routes and duration are adapted to the conditions and to your itinerary, from a short introduction to a longer journey deeper into the forest.
