Santa was on to something when he chose reindeer to pull his sleigh. You can fill his jolly boots by taking a Reindeer Sleigh Ride when you visit Finnish Lapland. Dash through the snow in an open sleigh at breakneck speeds, any faster and you’d probably take off, just like Santa Claus. If you haven’t considered it, you need to put this on your list of things to do in Finland right now.

The magnificent reindeer is an icon of Finland’s frozen northern territory of Lapland. Here, the number of reindeer equals the number of people and you’re as likely to see a reindeer as another person in this sparsely populated area. No wonder they are also used for transport in a place where cars and automobiles spend more time stuck in the snow than getting to where they want to go. Not these reindeer though, they’re big, strong and fast. The perfect choice to pull a sleigh through a thick blanket of snow. Before you can take a Reindeer Sleigh Ride though, you must meet your reindeer at the reindeer farms where they live and are cared for. You can pet them, feed them and even take the opportunity to nuzzle with a cute little reindeer calf. After that, away you go. The clop of reindeer hoofs is almost rhythmic against the stoic Arctic silence. Pass through frozen valleys, glide over frozen lakes and get a feel of life in the Arctic tundra where reindeer aren’t just animals, they’re an important part of Lappish culture.
