What does our CEO tell us about the Summer experiences?
“Many people think reindeer belong only to winter. But for us, summer is when Lapland truly breathes.”
Summer is a special season on our farm. The forests turn deep green, the air feels fresh and calm, and the Midnight Sun creates a peaceful rhythm that you can feel the moment you arrive.
“In summer, our reindeer are relaxed. They graze freely, and we have more time to share real stories about our life, reindeer, and our connection to the land.”
Unlike the busy winter months, summer visits are slower and more personal. Guests often tell us they feel closer to the animals and to the culture because there is space to truly experience it.
“For our family, reindeer herding is not a performance — it is everyday life. In summer, you see that daily life in its most natural form.”
If you are looking for something authentic, peaceful, and deeply Arctic — summer might be the most meaningful time to visit.
— Janne Körkkö, CEO & Reindeer Herder, Santa Claus Reindeer

Why Visit Rovaniemi in Autumn?
Autumn in Rovaniemi is one of Lapland’s most beautiful and underrated seasons. During the famous Ruska season in Lapland, Arctic forests transform into vibrant shades of red, orange, and gold. The landscape becomes a breathtaking mosaic of fall colors, reflecting on quiet lakes and surrounding the reindeer in glowing autumn scenery.
Visiting Rovaniemi in autumn means experiencing Lapland at its most peaceful. With cooler temperatures and fewer crowds than winter, reindeer farm visits feel more personal and immersive.
Short Autumn Season — Secure Your Experience Early
Autumn in Lapland is beautiful — but brief. The vibrant Ruska season lasts only a few weeks, and once the colors fade, the landscape slowly transitions toward winter.
Because we operate in small groups and follow the natural rhythm of the farm, availability during September and early October is limited.
Many travelers plan their visit around peak fall colors and the beginning of the Northern Lights season — and preferred dates fill quickly.
If you already know your travel dates in Rovaniemi, we recommend booking in advance to ensure you don’t miss this unique Arctic season.
Reserve your autumn reindeer experience today and experience Lapland at its most colorful.
