Lappish Village and Reindeer Safari-Express, Levi

Fun program for the whole family. You’ll get a bunch of memorable experiences of the Lappish reindeer herders’ culture on this short program. You will visit an old reindeer farm that dates back more than 150 years. It lies on the bank of the longest river in Lapland and is surrounded by taiga forest. 

You will be guided to the reindeer sleds and go for a reindeer ride (about 1 km) through the beautiful pine forest. You’ll be able to take pictures with the reindeer and feed them with lichen. Depending on the group and season your host might be able to take you inside the reindeer corral, where you can experience a “reindeer therapy” - a close encounter with young reindeer calves. You can also check out old buildings around the farm, which have a nice collection of old Lappish artifacts from the reindeer herders. After the ride, you can taste Finnish warm berry juice in the old café (or mulled non-alcoholic wine “glöggi” only in the period 20.12-10.1) and fresh home-made donuts (traditional “munkki” in Finnish), buy souvenirs from reindeer antlers and conserves from local berries.
