About Reindeer Farm Levi
A guide for an afternoon with the reindeer
Reindeer Farm Levi is an independent guide for everyone planning to meet reindeer from Levi, the resort in Kittilä in Finnish Lapland. Here you will find how the farm visits and sleigh rides compare, what happens on a ride, how the husky and reindeer combination days differ, what a half day at a wilderness farm involves, how to visit with children, how the herders' year runs from calving to the roundups, what makes a reindeer suited to the cold, which months suit a visit and how Levi compares with the farms of Rovaniemi.
The site is available in English and five additional languages. It is written first in English.
How we research
Every number on our pages comes from a source that we link to at the bottom of the page: mostly Visit Levi, the official site of the resort, Visit Finland, Visit Rovaniemi, the Sámi Parliament in Finland, the Sámi Museum Siida and Metsähallitus, with climate averages we worked out from NOAA's records for the Kittilä Airport station (rain and snow days: Kittilä village station) and reindeer biology from an encyclopaedia. Information on tours, that is duration, languages, inclusions, ratings and prices, comes from the listings on GetYourGuide.
Snow and cold cannot be ordered, and every farm sets its own route, ride length and age rules. That is why we tell you plainly what a listing states and what it leaves open, and we only call a farm or a guide Sámi where the listing itself says so.
How we make money
Reindeer Farm Levi is funded through the GetYourGuide affiliate program. When you book through one of our links, we receive a commission; your price remains the same. There are no advertising banners here, and we do not sell your data.
