Itinerary

Rovaniemi
You have a unique opportunity to learn about reindeer and
their life. Tourists pass an exam on riding a reindeer
sled and even receive a special “driving license” without
any age restrictions or doping control. Have a seat in the
sled and you are off! Getting cold? You can warm yourselves
around a bonfire in a hut and enjoy a cup of hot juice. In
a traditional Lapp hut, you will be “baptized” in
accordance with all the Northern rules.
