Jingle Bells – Sleigh Ride in the old forest
Description
Jingle Bells – A Reindeer Sleigh Ride
Join us for a peaceful reindeer sleigh ride through a snow-covered Arctic forest and discover the charm of Lapland’s oldest form of transportation. For generations, reindeer were the only way to travel across the vast, roadless wilderness of the North. Even in the 1960s and 70s, local families used their trusted sleigh reindeer to visit the village store or travel to school. While modern life has changed many things, reindeer remain the most magical way to journey through the Arctic.
Our sleigh ride offers a calm, unhurried experience in the heart of the wild, authentic Arctic landscape—far from crowds, noise, and city life. Guided by our beloved and well-trained reindeer, you’ll glide quietly through a fairy-tale winter forest. The only sounds around you are the soft crunch of snow, the gentle breath of the reindeer, and the stillness of nature. There’s no rush—just time to breathe, listen, and be present.
We keep our groups small or private to ensure a truly personal and meaningful experience. This is a moment to slow down and reconnect—with yourself, the animals, and the peaceful rhythm of the northern wilderness.
After the ride, you’ll have time to meet and feed the reindeer, getting close to these gentle and curious animals.
To finish, relax by a cozy open fire and enjoy warm drinks and fresh, home-baked pulla (a traditional Finnish sweet bun).
Come, unwind, and let the quiet magic of the Arctic carry you away.
