Lapland Handbook Staff How we research this

The short answer

For a family on a budget, the feeding ride costs almost nothing and gets the children close to the reindeer. The three-hour safari, where you drive the reindeer yourselves, is the best value for a first real outing. The one-day safari costs about twice as much again. The farm safari by snowmobile cannot be priced for a family until you ask.

How the operators compare

Prices are the operators' own published starting prices as of the date this guide was updated, and they change through the season.

Nothing is marked: a half-hour visit and a full day are different outings, so the cheapest is not the best buy. The feeding ride's family total assumes children pay the adult price. The farm safari's adult price is for two to a sledge.

Where these figures come from
  • Feeding ride: Half an hour by sleigh to the park's corral, priced per person with no separate child fare.
  • Reindeer safari: Three hours driving your own reindeer, with warm clothing lent and children from three at half price.
  • One-day safari: Five to six hours with the reindeer and lunch in a kota, children from three at half price.
  • Farm by snowmobile: Five to six hours on a snowmobile to a reindeer farm, priced per rider with no child fare.

Reindeer outings in Salla are priced per person, and the range runs from a small fee to a full day’s outlay.

Questions people ask

Do children pay full price on the feeding ride?

The park prints 15 euros a person for it and no child fare, unlike its other outings. The family total in the table assumes the children pay the same as adults. Ask when you book: at that price the difference is small either way, but it is worth knowing before you arrive.

Is the farm safari cheaper riding two to a machine?

Yes. The fell resort charges 167 euros each with two to a sledge and 218 riding alone, and names an excess of 890 euros per snowmobile in an accident. The ride is five to six hours and about 70 km, so most of the price pays for the snowmobile rather than the reindeer.

What does a summer visit cost?

In the snow-free season the park runs a two-hour programme instead, with a talk on the reindeer year, a drive in your own car to a feeding place and coffee in a hut, for 37 euros. None of the sleigh outings in this table runs in summer, when there is no snow for them.
