Experience the Magic of Lapland’s Arctic Life in our Reindeer Farm
A reindeer farm is the perfect place to experience the authentic heart of Lapland. Surrounded by the untouched Arctic wilderness, this is where tradition and nature come together. Reindeer roam peacefully in their pastures, their thick fur shimmering and reflecting light. Visiting a reindeer farm lets you step into the world of these majestic Arctic animals, learn about their way of life, and feel the deep connection between the people of the North and their reindeer.
Our reindeer farm is a Home to hundreds of reindeer
Nestled in the heart of Lapland, our reindeer farm is a sanctuary for hundreds of these iconic Arctic animals. Here, reindeer live in their natural environment, roaming in the Finnish landscapes just as they have for centuries. Each one is part of a long tradition, cared for by expert herders who understand their rhythms, needs, and personalities.
