About this experience
Delve deep into the wilds of Lapland on this 1,5-hour reindeer safari from Levi. Climb into your sled with a guide, then charge off into the snowy nature as the reindeer takes the lead. During your sled ride, admire panoramic views over the Lapland countryside and listen to the rhythmic sounds of the reindeer’s hooves on the snow. Warm up with a hot drink by the fire, then listen as a guide tells about reindeers’ role in traditional Lappish culture. This tour length includes round-trip travel from Levi.
