How far in advance should I book my tour?

During December and the peak Christmas season, booking **3–4 weeks in advance** is recommended, while a few days ahead may be sufficient outside peak season. Short <link linkType="internal" newTab="true" url="" id="xxlUBUO6" shortCodeType="link" relationTo="pages" documentId="6835d08da425e69e8ca786db" text="Santa Claus Village" uid="www.rovaniemitours.com.santa-claus-village" lang="en" /> rides may also be available on-site, subject to availability.

Can I drive the reindeer sleigh myself?

Most <jumplink title="reindeer sleigh rides" targetBlockId="690dd14dca52d545470baa44" id="fibVlh6F" /> are **led by a guide or reindeer herder**, so you can sit back and enjoy the ride. Some experiences like the <experience type="Popup" tgid="37194" title="Santa Claus Village, husky & reindeer sledding tour" id="2layuq6h" /> offers a **reindeer driving license** as part of the selected option, but this does not mean guests independently operate the sleigh.

How many people fit in one reindeer sleigh?

Sleigh capacity **varies by experience and operator**. Some current experiences have rides shared by **two to three guests**, so check the individual tour for its specific seating arrangement.

What happens if there is not enough snow?

Snow conditions can affect reindeer sleigh rides, particularly longer snow-dependent routes. If conditions are unsuitable, the operator may **adjust the activity or route** according to the conditions and the selected experience.

Can I pet or feed the reindeer during the tour?

Yes, most farm visits like the <experience type="Popup" tgid="30884" title="Reindeer Farm Visit and Sledding" id="SqWMlXWG" /> include time to meet, feed, and photograph reindeer. Herders provide safe guidance so both guests and animals can interact comfortably without stress.

Can children take part in reindeer sledding?

Yes, reindeer sledding is generally suitable for families, with short Santa Claus Village rides being particularly accessible for young children. However, **age requirements and child arrangements vary by experience**, so check the selected tour before booking.

Is winter clothing provided?

Many guided reindeer experiences provide **thermal overalls, boots, and gloves**, but inclusions vary by tour. Check your selected experience to see what clothing and gear are provided, and wear warm base layers underneath.

1/6

Comfortable transfers and convenient meeting points

Many experiences include transfers from Rovaniemi city center or selected hotels, while others use a designated meeting point. Depending on the tour, you may travel by minibus or a smaller vehicle to the reindeer farm before the experience begins.

Reindeer sleigh ride

Settle into a traditional reindeer-pulled sleigh and glide through the snowy landscape. Ride options vary from 500m reindeer sleigh ride to 2.5km reindeer sleigh ride or around 40-minute reindeer sleigh ride, depending on the experience.

Storytelling and local legends

Many experiences like the Reindeer Farm Visit and Sledding with Distance Options include time at a working reindeer farm, where you can meet and feed the animals, hear about their care, and learn about local reindeer herding traditions from your guide.

Add-on Arctic adventures

Depending on the tour, you can pair your reindeer ride with a Northern Lights hunt, husky safari, snowmobile ride, or meet Santa himself on a Santa Claus Village visit. These combo tours are useful if you want to fit several Lapland highlights into one itinerary.

Warm up with local snacks

After your ride, warm up with hot berry juice, tea, or coffee and cookies or other snacks, depending on the experience. Some longer combination tours may also include a meal such as salmon soup or a Lappish BBQ.

Return journey to your hotel

Once your reindeer experience is complete, return to your designated drop-off point or continue with the rest of your itinerary, depending on the tour. Experiences with included transfers provide return transportation according to the selected pickup arrangement.

Things to know before booking your Reindeer ride in Rovaniemi

Types of tours: Reindeer experiences range from short reindeer sleigh rides and farm visits to evening Northern Lights chase and longer combination tours. You can also combine reindeer sledding with Santa Claus Village and husky rides or snowmobile and reindeer sledding, depending on the tour.
Sleigh ride duration varies: If you select the Reindeer Farm Visit and Sledding with Distance Options, you can choose your preferred ride duration from a short 400–500m ride of just a few minutes, to a medium 2.5km ride, or even long journeys of 30–40 minutes through the forest.
Day vs evening experiences: Choose daytime rides for clear views of snow-covered forests and trails, or evening reindeer rides with Northern Lights hunting.
Transfers vary by tour: Most tours include round-trip hotel transfers from Rovaniemi. Some use minibuses, others luxury vans for small groups.
What’s included varies: Reindeer farm visit, winter clothing (overalls, boots, gloves), necessary gear, and hot drinks or snacks are included in all the tours. Extras such as salmon soup with vegetarian options, Fazer chocolates, multilingual guide options, or children’s mini snowmobile rides can vary based on the tour you select.
Fitness and safety requirements: Reindeer rides in Rovaniemi are suitable for all, as sledding requires no physical effort. Snowmobile and reindeer experiences require a valid driver’s license for drivers.
Season and snow conditions: The tours operate in the winter season, typically from late November to March. Please note that Northern Lights sightings depend on clear skies, and while sightings cannot be guaranteed, going on a guided tour increases your chances, as local experts know the most reliable viewing spots and time.

Book ahead: Reindeer rides can be popular during the December peak period, so booking early is useful if you have fixed travel dates.
