A traditional 1 km reindeer safari in Levi, with a peaceful sleigh ride through snowy forest, a local reindeer herder, hot drink and time to meet the reindeer.

Reindeer Safari 1 km in Levi

Experience one of Lapland's oldest forms of winter travel on a traditional reindeer sleigh ride near Levi. After a short transfer from Levi, the local reindeer herder welcomes the group, introduces the reindeer and shares stories about reindeer herding and its role in life in northern Finland.

The 0.6 km reindeer safari follows a quiet route through snow-covered forest. Sit back in the sleigh while the reindeer sets the pace through the winter landscape. The short route makes this an easy introduction to a traditional reindeer safari while still giving guests time to experience travelling behind these iconic Arctic animals.

On the tour, there is time to meet the reindeer, take photographs and hear more from the herder. A hot drink is served, and a traditional kota provides a warm place to shelter from the cold before the return to Levi.

Until 7 January, the program also includes a snowmobile-pulled sled ride after the reindeer safari.
