This scenic ride offers guests of all ages a chance to connect with nature and tradition in a truly unforgettable way.

Your journey begins at Santa Claus Reindeer, where you’ll meet our friendly and well-cared-for reindeer. Hop into a traditional sleigh for a 10–12 minute ride (approximately 800 meters) along a beautiful forest trail that winds through the snowy or seasonal surroundings of the Arctic Circle.

❄️ Two Unique Seasonal Experiences:

🍂 Before Snowfall – Autumn & Early Winter (September–November):

In the earlier months of the season, before the snow arrives, guests can enjoy a wheeled sleigh ride pulled by reindeer through the tranquil woodlands. Feel the crisp Lapland air on your face, hear the quiet rustling of leaves, and admire the forest scenery that surrounds Santa Claus Village  in its pre-winter charm.

❄️ Winter Wonderland (Late November–April):

Once winter sets in and the snow blankets the landscape, the experience becomes even more magical. Glide silently through a snow-covered forest in a classic sleigh, wrapped in warm blankets while the soft sound of reindeer hooves fills the air. It’s an idyllic way to enjoy the Lapland wilderness—a must-do winter activity in Rovaniemi.
