What our customers are about our Winter activities
Loved it!
Loved the forest path raindeer ride. 2 adults and 1 children cost £100 from the information point in the main office. It was a lovely ride in the forest. Beautiful and quiet. Loved roasting marshmallows outside and the queue wasn’t more than 5 minutes.

A magical winter experience
We both really enjoyed our 3km reindeer ride. We shared a sledge and it was a relaxing 45 minute ride on the snow through the SCV site and adjacent woodlands at a walking pace. Our guide (Mikko) was happy to take our photo at the start and finish of the ride. We also had the opportunity to cook sausages and drink warm berry juice in a private covered area adjacent to the finish. In all, a magical winter experience

A beautiful, child friendly reindeer ride in the woods
We went for the 1000m reindeer sleigh ride and it we all loved it, such a beautiful trail. We arrived at 11:30am and had to queue for 45 minutes for the ride, but worth the wait.

Lappish food in Santa Claus Village
Lapland Restaurant Kotahovi offers traditional, simple Lappish and Finnish food. In our traditional Lappish hut style restaurant, you can enjoy the atmosphere of Lapland with all your senses. An open fire blazes in the middle of the restaurant, and you can see the reindeer of the Santa Claus Reindeer Park from the window.
