Experience A Traditional Reindeer Sled Ride At An Idyllic Family Farm In Lapland


Embark on an authentic journey to a historic reindeer farm that has been operated by the same family for nearly four hundred years. Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup from your accommodation, transporting you into the heart of the serene arctic wilderness. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed by the local hosts who provide a fascinating introduction to their traditional way of life and the unique heritage of their reindeer husbandry practices.


The highlight of your visit is a delightful four hundred meter sleigh ride pulled by gentle reindeer through the pristine snowy landscape. This slow-paced excursion allows you to fully appreciate the quiet beauty of the arctic environment while experiencing a traditional mode of transport. The rhythmic sound of the sleigh gliding over the snow creates a peaceful atmosphere that perfectly captures the essence of a winter day spent in the far north of the country.


Following your ride, you will gather around a crackling fire to warm up with a hot drink and a hearty serving of pasta. During this cozy break, the farm owners share captivating stories about the biology and behavior of these peculiar arctic animals. You will gain valuable insights into how these creatures have adapted to the harsh northern climate, making them an essential part of the local culture and the region's historical survival strategies.


Before concluding your visit, you are invited to interact directly with the animals by feeding them and capturing memorable photographs with the friendliest reindeer on the farm. This hands-on experience provides a wonderful opportunity to connect with nature before your return journey. Once the activities are finished, your hosts will ensure you are safely transported back to your accommodation, leaving you with lasting memories of your authentic arctic reindeer farm adventure.

Absolutely amazing experience!! So worth the money, especially in comparison to the santa village experience!! I felt really at ease asking questions about the reindeer, asking for photos. We were asked not to touch the reindeer, fair enough, as they don't like it, but then during the ride we told that we could pet one as he was friendly, it was amazing!! We went on the experience with a 9year old and 3 year old and both loved it. Staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. We had the best time feeding, petting and riding with reindeer was a magical experience.

We did the family program today (November 2025), and it was really lovely. Great experience, and a highlight for our kids (3 and 6 years). It included a 30 min reindeer sled ride, an 800m dog sled ride, and lunch. The guides were very friendly and attentive, and answered all the kids questions about the reindeer. We even got to pet one of the deer and the sled dogs. Lunch was a delicious salmon soup. Highly recommend!

A magical Lapland experience at Raitola Reindeer & Husky Farm! Nestled in the heart of nature, Raitola offers a peaceful and truly authentic Lapland atmosphere. The location is stunning — surrounded by snowy forests and far from the noise of the city, it feels like stepping into a winter fairytale. The huskies were full of energy and incredibly excited to run — their enthusiasm was contagious! It was such a thrill to be pulled through the snowy trails by these amazing dogs. The reindeer, in contrast, were calm, majestic, and gentle. Feeding and petting them was such a peaceful and special experience. The staff was welcoming and knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts about the animals and the local culture. Whether you're looking for adventure or a serene moment with nature, this place has it all. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Lapland!
