Jingle Bells – A Reindeer Sleigh Ride
The time spent at the farm is approximately 1.5–2 hours. The total duration, including transportation, is approximately 4 hours.
The experience includes:

- Well-cared-for and much-loved reindeer
- A real-life local reindeer herder as your guide
- Every sleigh ride is driven or led by a guide who knows each reindeer as an individual, helping ensure that the reindeer always feel safe and comfortable throughout the experience.
- The opportunity to meet and hand-feed the reindeer
- Warm drinks and freshly baked homemade pulla by the campfire (you are also welcome to use the campfire to enjoy your own snacks)

Our family reindeer farm is located in the peaceful countryside of Rovaniemi, surrounded by forests, fells, and Arctic nature. Here you can experience the authentic atmosphere of Lapland, far away from the crowds and city lights.
Whether you arrive with our transfer service or on your own, the journey to the farm is part of the experience. The final 22 km follows a scenic country road through beautiful northern landscapes. If you are driving yourself, we recommend allowing around 30 minutes for this section so you can drive safely, watch for reindeer on the road, and enjoy the scenery.
Please dress warmly for Arctic winter conditions. We do not provide winter clothing, so warm outdoor clothing, insulated boots, mittens, and a proper winter hat are essential. On sunny days in February and March, sunglasses are also recommended.
Your comfort and safety and, above all, the well-being of our beloved reindeer are always our highest priorities. If severe weather or road conditions make it unsafe to operate the tour, we will cancel the experience and provide a full refund.
