Embark on a winter adventure by reindeer sleigh, where the secrets of the forest are waiting to be discovered. Can you spot a hare or a squirrel? Santa Claus loves the forest, too. He often goes there to greet the animals and take in the beauty of winter nature, which calms the everyday hustle and bustle. It is so relaxing to be with the reindeer and feel nature close to you.

A peaceful ride under warm reindeer hides or blankets will make you forget about everyday life. Stunning scenery glides past, and with a bit of luck, you might spot hares, squirrels, free-grazing reindeer, and other forest animals along the way.

Visiting Rovaniemi between November 24th and January 29th? You might think it would be pitch dark in the forest. But when you book a Winter Adventure, you’ll experience something magical! The darkness in the forest is different than you have used to; it's more blueish, the snow lights it up. In the twilight, the snow-covered forest creates a unique and wonderful atmosphere, which you can experience up close and without any hurry on this reindeer safari.

The relaxing Lapland experience continues even after the reindeer ride in Santa Claus Village. We’ll gather around the campfire to roast sausages and sip warm juice. Now’s the perfect chance to ask your guide everything you’ve always wanted to know about reindeer.

Winter Adventure is an easy way to experience a real, traditional reindeer sleigh ride while visiting Santa Claus Village.

What do I need to bring?

In general you don’t need any special clothing for the reindeer sleigh rides, although we recommend you to wear regular, warm winter outdoor clothing. There are reindeer hides in each sleigh to keep you warm during the ride, but especially for the longer sleigh rides it’s essential to dress warmly. To stay warm it’s very important that your head, shoulders, hands and feet are covered and well protected against the cold.

The best way to keep warm during longer sleigh rides is to wear several layers of clothing: a good combination is for example to wear long underwear (preferably of natural or moist removing materials), woollen mid layer, warm winter outdoor trousers and a jacket. Regular socks topped with woollen socks and winter boots will keep your feet warm and warm mittens or gloves will protect your hands. It is also important to protect your head and neck against the cold by wearing a beanie and a scarf.

Remember that air insulates warmth: therefore, do not wear too small shoes, trousers or gloves. Please pay special attention to children’s clothing, since they are more sensitive to cold than adults!
