“We were picked up on time at our Airbnb by Egor who drove us directly to the farm. On arrival, there was a big group of people already waiting in line to go on the sleigh ride, so we had time to pat the huskies that weren't on the sleigh ride first. The wait wasn't long and before we knew it, we were on the sleigh! The ride is short but a lot of fun! We got to pat and take pictures with these huskies too before we went to a lodge closeby. It was very cosy and had a fireplace where everyone could sit around. We were served cookies…”

It was a sunny day and the ride was very nice. As it was the end of the tourism season, our familly was the only on the tour. So it was very relaxed. And the owners took their time to explain reindeer life. After the 2 km ride we could feed the reindeers which was also a very nice experience. The photografer took a lot of photos. We were back in Rovaniemi at 11h30.”
