What to expect
Here in the heart of Swedish Lapland can you find the activities you are looking for. You can become a reindeer herder for a day. You get to accompany the Sámi reindeer herder during his everyday life as he feeds his reindeer herd and looks after them. You can go reindeer sledding, pulled by the reindeer in the wonderful winter landscape far north of the Arctic Circle. * (You can go reindeer sledding alone or with a guide. The trail is one kilometer long.)
One hour fifteen minutes after you have left the urban life behind you, you will find yourself in a completely different environment where the reindeer is in the center.
This is a region where humans are few and the animals reign.
Your stay may be memorable, restful and at the same time refreshing for body and soul. Something to take with you into the future.

Such an amazing experience! We were beyond happy to spend the day with reindeers, feed them and ride with them. Bea and Friedrich were very knowledgeable and going above and beyond to make sure we learn about their Sami lifestyle. We were truly impressed on how welcoming they were and loved the food they cooked for us in their tent. This trip was a true highlight of our experience in Lapland. They are setting the bar high for all travelers. A must if you come near Kiruna!!Amazing day with Reindeers. We first fed them, then we had a little sled ride with them and finally we had a delicious lunch. Thank you for everything.
Amazing day with Reindeers. We first fed them, then we had a little sled ride with them and finally we had a delicious lunch. Thank you for everything.Beatrice en Frederik waren aardig en willen veel vertellen over Zweden en hun cultuur. Het was geweldig om een dag met ze op te trekken en zo dichterbij de rendieren te kunnen komen. Liefdevolle mensen en een interessante dag die je nooit meer zal vergeten. Ik hoop ze ooit weer te zien.
