Reindeer herding is the oldest livelihood in Lapland and today’s snowmobile safari will take you to the trails of a reindeer herder.
Our professional wilderness guide will give you a thorough driving lesson for the snowmobiles and no previous experience is required – we tell you how to handle them safe and sound. We drive the snowmobiles from Ruka to a reindeer farm, where the reindeer herders greet us.
At the farm we familiarize with the reindeer and have a short ride (300m) in the reindeer sledge in the farms corral. You will hear stories about reindeer and life with reindeer from the reindeer herders and have a strengthening lunch at the farm. One last highlight is the authentic old house at the farm, that today holds a handicraft shop. On the way back to Ruka on snowmobiles you will already thinking back on the interesting encounters at the farm.
Duration: About 5 hrs and or 50 km depending on the weather conditions and the driving skills of the participants.
