The gentlest way to meet Lapland’s reindeer — perfect for families and first-time visitors.
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.
The herders show you their daily work and tell you how the reindeer live through the year. You can feed the reindeer, take photos — and if winter conditions allow, enjoy a short sleigh ride of about 400 metres, the most traditional way to travel in Lapland.
