Meet & Private Finnhorse Sleigh Ride
Gather at the meeting point on Joulumaantie for a warm welcome and short introduction to the Finnhorse (history, care and what to expect). Guests will be seated on reindeer hides under warm blankets for the private sleigh (or wagon, if no snow) route through the atmospheric Lapland forest (about 2 km; ride time 45–60 minutes). After the ride enjoy a hot berry drink and traditional Finnish pastry beside the campfire while your guide answers questions.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10–15 minutes early at the north end of Joulumaantie, Rovaniemi so the group can be briefed and departures can start on time; there is no public transport directly to the meeting point.
- Dress in warm layers (wool base layer + insulated outer layer), warm boots, hat and gloves; blankets are provided but extra warm layers improve comfort for couples wanting a snug experience.
- For safety and comfort: infants must not sit on laps and infant seats are not available. Carry a close-fitting baby carrier if needed and check local weather before departure.
