Belle excursion durant laquelle nous avons pu découvrir les rennes. Dommage toutefois de ne pas avoir pu les approcher davantage, car ils n’aiment pas trop le contact. La balade était agréable et le guide sympathique, tout comme la partie consacrée au goûter et aux explications. Cependant, l'ensemble nous a paru un peu expéditif : nous n’avons pas vraiment eu le temps de profiter de moments avec les rennes. Une fois le goûter terminé, nous sommes remontés directement dans les vans pour repartir.

This was an amazing experience! They were incredibly well set up with loan outer jumpsuits, wool socks and boots to make sure we were very comfortable as it was -13 degrees! The reindeer herder was very knowledgeable and the animals looked to be very content and in healthy condition. We were seated one per sleigh and on a skin to keep warm and rug over our laps. We set off through the forest for well over 40 minutes with the reindeer taking their time. At one point the lead reindeer stopped to have a good dog at the ground as he’d smelt something delicious. He wasn’t hurried along but given a few minutes to enjoy before he chose to move on. After the ride we were able to feed them moss and then we were treated to a hot drink and cake while more of the animals was explained to us in a log cabin with crackling fire.
Wouldn’t have missed this for the world
