Step into the quiet heart of Lapland. From the moment the minivan winds away from the city and into snow-silenced forests, the pace slows — you can feel the hush of the Arctic landscape. At Sieriporo, the farm’s wooden buildings and sleigh-lined yard welcome you with an uncomplicated, traditional charm. After a brief, friendly introduction from your guide and a quick fitting of warm clothing, you settle into a two-person sleigh. The reindeer, calm and steady, pull you along a gently rolling 3.5 km route for 50–60 minutes — long enough to fully relax, watch falling snow in the tree tops and notice small things: the rhythmic crunch of runners, your guide’s low stories about herding, the pale winter light through pines. The ride alternates between sheltered forest trails and small open clearings where the silence feels almost ceremonial. After the run you step into a warm kota, meet the reindeer up close and savour hot berry juice and a rustic Finnish pastry. It’s an intimate, traditional Lapland experience — slow, respectful of nature and rooted in local life. Practical note: because the sleigh ride is long, dressing warmly is essential for full enjoyment.
- Minimum participants: The activity requires at least two paying adults to operate; single travellers should book accordingly.
- Weather & snow dependent: The safari requires sufficient snow; if cancelled due to lack of snow (early winter or late spring) you will receive a 100% refund.
- Long time outdoors on the sleigh: The ride is lengthy (50–60 min) — dress in proper winter layers; children under 15 must be accompanied by a parent.
