Come to admire the arctic nature to our forest in the middle of nowhere. You will come to Wolf Lake by your transportation. We will depart from there on foot.

Using google maps on your phone is an alternative. You can scan the QR codes that you find in the forest to learn more about the plants and animals and the fragile environment. At the end you will be served a snack inside of the hut. Elk burger/meat pie or similar would be typically offered.  If you are a vegetarian or have special diet, please inform us when making the booking. There would be 1.5 to 2 hours of exploring the forested hill in the middle of a vast bog. You will be going your own pace with your friends or family. The guide will be there to assist you, if needed. The distance you will walk would be between 1,5 km and 5 km, you decide.

Do not forget to bring a hat.

Pregnancy and Health Limitations

If booking a reindeer tour inform us ahead of time of any relevant health limitations (e.g. broken arm, undergone back surgery etc.) that shall be taken into consideration when selecting suitable animals for you and your family. Although each reindeer departs individually, we put an emphasis on safety and try to find a perfect match for you and your reindeer.

Meeting point

The meeting point during the snowy period is our winter starting place at Kätkäjärvi (address: Kätkäjärventie 407, Sirkka). If navigating yourselves, use google maps (not garmin or iphone). You can get there by taxi or your car from Levi center, it will take approximately 15 minutes. Try to come some 5-10 minutes before the tour starts at most. There is no waiting room as we are in the middle of nowhere, so come with proper winter gear on. It is a private road so make sure to book before coming.
