Ice Skating on a Lake, with Reindeer Visit & Warm Drinks

Guided Natural-Ice Skating Tour Combines Reindeer Encounters With Arctic Adventure

A unique winter experience in Finnish Lapland invites visitors to combine natural-ice skating with an authentic reindeer encounter in a relaxed small-group setting. The adventure begins in a welcoming reindeer yard, where guests have the opportunity to meet friendly reindeer, take photographs, and enjoy a warm introduction to the region’s Arctic traditions before heading onto the ice.

Before the skating begins, a local guide helps each participant select properly fitted skates and provides a comprehensive safety briefing. Designed to accommodate a range of experience levels, the activity emphasises comfort and confidence, ensuring that guests are well prepared for skating on natural frozen lakes.

The guided route follows carefully selected stretches of natural ice through peaceful winter landscapes, where snow-covered forests, open lakes, and the silence of the Arctic create a memorable setting. The pace is adjusted to suit the group, with regular stops for photography, rest, and appreciation of the surrounding scenery. During the excursion, warm berry juice and biscuits are served to help participants stay comfortable in the crisp winter air.

Lake locations and skating routes are chosen according to current weather and ice conditions to ensure the safest possible experience. For additional safety, tours are cancelled in advance if temperatures fall below minus 24 degrees Celsius. Combining authentic local hospitality, scenic wilderness, and the rare opportunity to skate across natural Arctic ice, the excursion offers a distinctive way to experience the magic of Lapland in winter.
