Activity Snapshot
Activity description
Join Artic Lifestyle for a one-of-a-kind winter adventure that combines snowmobiling and a reindeer sled ride! During this 3-hour experience, you'll not only discover Finland's beautiful winter wonderland, but you'll also learn about Lapland and its cultural roots, which are intertwined with its famous reindeer!
After being shuttled to the snowmobile departure point, you'll be given a safety and instructional introduction to snowmobiling. Arctic Lifestyles only uses snowmobiles that are locally produced, which include BRP Lynx Rave and Xtrim models. They prefer these brands, as they are extremely comfortable to drive as well as being environmentally friendly.
Once you've put on the provided winter/snowmobiling gear, the adventure begins! You'll head out into the winter landscape via snowmobile towards the reindeer farm. After being greeted by the reindeer herder and meeting the reindeer, you'll experience a short reindeer sled ride (500-700 m). Then the herder will share stories about reindeer herding and the traditional way of life in Lapland, followed by warm beverages and cookies.
This activity promises a fully immersive and fun-filled winter experience in beautiful Finland!
