Along the journey, we’ll learn about reindeer herding, the local history, and the lives of residents, both in the past and present. At the reindeer farm, we’ll observe reindeer feeding, take a ride through a snowy forest on a reindeer-pulled sleigh, and practice throwing a suopunki—a traditional lasso used to catch reindeer and a valuable tool for herders.
