We visited the reindeer farm + reindeer sleigh and husky park + husky sleigh. We appreciate it a lot, especially the story of these animals which has been very well told. The reindeer farm has more than a hundred years of history, we were able to touch and feed the reindeer. The husky park was very large and raised over 90 huskies, we were also able to pet and take pictures with the huskies. Alex was very welcoming and informative. Thanks for this morning.

This trail was very interesting by the knowledges Christophe gave us ( on the water, the wood, the fire). It was also dynamic as we we went downhill sliding on the snow, very intense and fun ( but be careful though !). We view The waterfalls from perfect angles, a magic nature :). Thank you Christophe for showing us these beautiful places around Rovaniemi. ????
