Heated Sleigh Ride for Families with a Chance to See the Northern Lights

Glide through Lapland's quiet winter forests in a warm, covered sleigh, with the evening tour offering a peaceful chance to watch for the Northern Lights above the trees. The calm pace and comfortable ride make it an easy outing to enjoy together as a family.

What to Expect During Your Heated Sleigh Ride

The sleigh moves at a gentle, unhurried pace through quiet snow-covered forests, with reindeer hides and blankets keeping everyone warm along the way. It is a calm way to take in Lapland's winter scenery as a family, with time to spot animal tracks in the snow and photograph the surroundings. A guide drives and leads the route throughout, so there is nothing to manage beyond settling in and enjoying the ride.

The experience is available in three formats, all suited to families. The one-hour and 2.5-hour tours follow the same peaceful forest trails in daylight, each with a break for a warm drink and, on the longer tour, a stop by the campfire. The three-hour evening tour follows the same route after dark, when the forest grows quiet and still, and on clear nights there is a chance to see the Northern Lights overhead. Their appearance can never be guaranteed, but the calm atmosphere of the evening tour makes it a memorable outing regardless.

Adventure and Flexibility

All three formats follow an easy route with no experience or physical effort required, making them comfortable for guests from three years of age upward. The sleigh holds up to eight people and works well as a private family outing or as part of a small group. The evening tour is especially suited to families hoping to watch for the Northern Lights together in an unhurried setting. Accessible arrangements may be possible depending on individual needs and should be requested in advance.
