Deer Park Visit outside Rovaniemi

A reindeer sleigh ride is a must for almost every visitor to Rovaniemi and Lapland. While you’re here, experience the calm and serenity of gliding through snowy landscapes on a traditional reindeer sleigh, or enjoy an unforgettable visit to a local reindeer farm to gain insight into the life of these iconic Arctic animals.

Reindeer herding is a way of life in Lapland, with local herders living in close connection with their animals throughout the year. For many, reindeer are not just a part of the culture—they’re a primary source of livelihood.

Reindeer experiences are available year-round. In the summer, you can visit farms, feed the animals, and even take part in special activities like combining reindeer encounters with Northern Lights hunts, hiking, or other adventures. From short scenic sleigh rides to full farm visits and seasonal experiences, there’s something for every traveler.
