    Day 4 - Reindeer farm and reindeer sledding

    The most traditional way to travel in Lapland is a reindeer sleigh. Our Reindeer herder has made for our guests local woolen clothing - 'luhkka' that you can put on top of your own outfit. This will keep you warm during the ride and let you feel the true authenticity of the moment. Then it’s time to help the local guide to prepare the reindeer for the ride. Once the sledges and these arctic animals are ready you will be seated in the sledge (2 persons per sledge) and prepare for this lovely journey. Along this new route reindeer will bring you to the most beautiful tracks in Levi with fantastic panoramic views. Sounds of forest, snow-covered trees, pure air, and untouched nature all around you, what can be better? After the safari you will have hot beverages and homemade sweet pastry.

    Afterwards, spend the afternoon in Levi where you can enjoy the local restaurants and cafes or join more optional activities. Downhill Skiing is also an afternoon option!
