Scenic Village Route and Local Life in Kilpisjärvi, Arctic Lapland
Arctic Life Up Close is a private, slow-paced experience that offers genuine insight into everyday life in Arctic Lapland. The journey begins with a scenic snowmobile sleigh ride around the village of Kilpisjärvi.
During the village route, the focus is on local life and the Arctic environment. At each stop, your guide shares personal stories about living in the Arctic, daily life in a small Lapland village, local traditions and the rhythm of the seasons. These pauses also provide excellent opportunities for photography and for simply taking in the surrounding landscapes.
Authentic Sámi Culture at Tornensis Reindeer Farm
The reindeer stories are saved for the visit to Tornensis Reindeer Farm, a traditional farm run by a Sámi family whose ancestors have herded reindeer in Lapland for centuries.
The reindeer farm is a shared visitor site, meaning there are usually other travelers present during the visit. Despite this, the encounter remains authentic and informative. You meet a member of the Sámi family who introduces you to Sámi culture, reindeer herding and the deep connection between people, animals and nature. The stories and knowledge shared are based on lived experience passed down through generations.
Meeting the Reindeer
At the farm, you get close to the reindeer and take part in feeding them their favorite treat, lichen. This calm and respectful moment allows for a genuine connection with the animals and a deeper appreciation of their role in Sámi culture and everyday life.
Private Experience with Personal Pace
This 3,5-hour private experience is private during the village route and guiding, meaning one booking equals one group. The visit to the reindeer farm is shared with other visitors, in line with how the farm operates. The overall pace of the tour remains calm and flexible, with personal guidance throughout.
