Overview
Lapland without snow is just as magical — and the reindeer are always happy to see you.
SieriPoro is an authentic Lappish reindeer farm by Lake Sierijärvi, about 15 km from Rovaniemi. The family has herded reindeer here since at least 1800 and today looks after more than 200 reindeer of all ages.
Outside the winter season the sleigh reindeer enjoy their summer holiday. You meet them up close, feed them and take pictures, while the herders tell you about their work and the yearly cycle of the reindeer.
