Reindeer sleigh ride

A traditional reindeer sleigh ride around the surrounding nature at Jänkä Resort & Ranch Ylläs.

duration:
45 minutes
available:
Every day
destination:
Jänkä Resort & Ranch Ylläs
about:
A must-have experience for every traveler in Lapland! We start the reindeer ride behind the Ranch, and head towards the marshland and wood. Sitting comfortably in the sleigh, you can admire the winter scenery. Sometimes we go quite briskly, other days the pace is a bit more relaxed – it depends on what kind of a day the reindeer are having. After the ride, we have time to spend time with the reindeer and feed them lichen. In the hut by the open fire, hot drinks and small snacks are enjoyed while talking about the life of the reindeer.
included:
Atmospheric and peaceful reindeer sleigh ride, hot drinks and snacks at the hut afterwards.
