Put on warm winter clothing and start your experience with a pickup from Ylläs. Board a comfortable coach or minivan and relax on the journey to the snowmobile center.
On arrival, get a safety briefing and instructions on riding your shared, 2-person snowmobile. Once you feel confident, strap on your helmet, open the throttle, and follow your guide into the snowy countryside.
Breathe in the chilly air and zip along trails through sparkling white woodlands. Feel your adrenaline race as you pick up speed and, if you wish, take turns driving and riding your snowmobile.
Arrive at a reindeer farm and meet a group of these beautiful animals. Chat to the herders and discover how reindeers have been used as transport in Lapland for centuries, and have wide, sharp hooves adapted to walk in snow and ice.
After a short safety briefing, board your cozy sleigh and set off around a snow-laden trail fringed by pretty pine trees.
Following a short ride, leave your sleigh and head inside a kota tent. Gather round the central open fire and enjoy a warming coffee as you chat to the herders about reindeer husbandry and the natures of these Arctic animals.
When the time comes, hop onto your snowmobile again and speed back through the snow to the original starting point, where your experience ends.
