Begin your Arctic adventure with convenient pickup from your accommodation in Kiruna or Jukkasjärvi, or meet directly at Aurora River Camp. When you arrive, you will be provided with warm thermal overalls, winter boots, gloves and a hat to ensure a comfortable and cosy experience in the cold outdoor temperatures. Once dressed, you settle into a large, stable sleigh lined with soft blankets for extra warmth.
Your sleigh is pulled by a snowmobile driven by your guide, allowing you to simply sit back, relax and enjoy the surrounding nature. As you glide through quiet forests, across frozen rivers and between snow-covered trees, your guide shares stories about Arctic wildlife, winter nature and everyday life in northern Sweden. The journey is calm and peaceful, offering plenty of opportunities to take photos and enjoy the stillness of Lapland’s winter landscape.
A highlight of the tour is the visit to a local reindeer corral. Reindeer have been central to Sámi culture for thousands of years, and here you have the chance to see them up close in a natural and respectful environment. You can feed the reindeer, observe their behaviour and learn about their importance in the Arctic ecosystem. Warm drink lingonberry drink are served during the stop, creating a comfortable moment where you can enjoy the atmosphere and take memorable photos.
After spending time with the reindeer, the sleigh ride continues through snowy terrain back towards Aurora River Camp. The return journey offers more beautiful scenery and a final chance to breathe the crisp Arctic air. The entire activity is gentle and suitable for all ages, making it an ideal choice for families, couples and travellers who want to experience the beauty of Lapland without needing to drive a snowmobile.
With hotel pickup and drop-off included, thermal clothing provided and a comfortable sleigh to sit in, this experience is designed to be accessible to everyone. It combines wildlife, culture, nature and warm hospitality in a way that captures the essence of winter in Swedish Lapland.
