Dinner

Reindeer sleigh ride across the night

This evening you will journey through the magical, snow-covered forest with the arctic night sky lit by millions of stars.

Before your reindeer journey you have free time to explore, relax or embark on a different activity. There are lots of optional activities to choose from such as husky sleigh, horse sleigh, snowmobiling, snow shoeing or Ice fishing. Or you could take a trip into Rovaniemi.

If you’d prefer to chill out, in the traditional Finnish way why not try a lakeside sauna & arctic bath!

After dinner you will set off with your guide in search of the northern lights by reindeer sleigh.

Just as our ancestors once did, you’ll be travelling on a reindeer sleigh through untouched wilderness. As you see the glow of the bonfire from a remote lavvu, you’ll know it’s time to stop for a hot drink over some fascinating stories from the reindeer herders. If you are lucky, perhaps the Northern Lights will escort you on your way through the magical plains of Lapland.
