We'd like to share our passion and expertise of local way of living in Finnish Lapland, where reindeer and reindeer herding are playing important roles. My sister learnt the tradition from our grandfather and have continued to keep it alive. She has also studied reindeer husbandry in the Lapland University of Applied Sciences.
Where you'll be
We can meet outdoors by the house in Kairala village (about 2 hour drive from Rovaniemi, the exact address will be provided upon reservation), and from there we can make a 5 minutes' drive to the place where reindeer have been gathered for the winter season. If you don't have a car, but you are accommodated in the Kairala village, we can pick you up.

A unique experience which is well worth the trip and time to explore! One gets the opportunity to feed these Wild animals in a unique setting with ample explanations on the workings of the farm and the environment. I totally recommend this experience!

Anna ci ha fatto vivere un’esperienza indimenticabile! Eravamo noi soli ( io, il mio compagno, e le nostre due gemelle di 6 anni) e lei, ed è stato fantastico!! Anna ci ha trasportato con la sua moto slitta attraverso i boschi innevati, nel cuore della fantastica terra lappone, Anna ha moltissime renne, che alleva e cura con passione e tanto amore.
Ci ha dato la possibilità di nutrirle e di portarle a passeggio, e poi, sempre nel bosco, ha acceso un bel fuoco e abbiamo mangiato con lei delle squisite salsicce di renna, un ottimo pane e una bevanda calda!! Che esperienza fantastica!! Anna è una donna forte, che trasmette grande tenacia! Non perdete questa grande occasione perché con lei ne sarete pienamente soddisfatti!!
