What do I need to bring?

No special gear is needed for your reindeer sleigh ride in Santa Claus Village, but we recommend dressing in warm winter outdoor clothing. Reindeer hides are provided in the sleigh, but for longer rides, it’s essential to layer up.

Wear thermal underwear, a wool mid-layer, winter trousers, and a jacket. Keep your feet, hands, head, and neck well covered with wool socks, winter boots, mittens, a beanie, and a scarf. Loose-fitting clothing insulates better—avoid tight shoes or gloves.

Children are more sensitive to cold, so make sure they are dressed with extra care for this unforgettable Lapland adventure.
