Frequently asked questions

No. Our youngest reindeer safari guest was under a year old, our oldest over 90. With children, you know best how long they can sit in a reindeer sleigh or a canoe. On cold days, take an extra look at their clothing. Children always join together with a parent.

Dress for the weather, in layers. A thermal base layer keeps your skin dry, a wool or fleece layer keeps you warm, and a winter jacket and trousers, or an overall, keep out the wind and wet.

Wear at least two pairs of socks, thick woollen ones if you have them. Two pairs of gloves work well too: thin ones underneath and big, warm mittens on top. Leave jeans and cotton at home, as they do not keep you warm.

If you need them, we lend winter overalls, winter boots, warm mittens and woollen socks for our safaris.

We have not found it yet. Our coldest reindeer safari so far was at −42 °C. On cold days we adapt the programme and make sure everyone is dressed properly for the weather.

Winter is in full swing by early December. The first snow usually falls in October or November, depending on the year. If there is enough snow in November, safaris can start then. Snow often stays until late April.

In November and at the end of April, safaris run according to the weather and can be cancelled due to force majeure.

The season starts in mid-August, when the nights get dark enough, and lasts until early April. You need a dark, clear sky. Find a spot away from street lights, ideally with an open view to the north.

Most of our programmes include something to eat and drink. We are happy to serve vegetarian, gluten-free or other special diets. Let us know when you book, so we can prepare. All our food is lactose-free.
