About in reindeer in Lapland and at our reindeer farm
The reindeer is a semi-domesticated herd animal that lives in the north, grazing on fells and in forests. Lapland reindeer are reminiscent in their habits and body structure of the mountain reindeer. In Lapland, there are more reindeer than people (about 200 000 vs 185 000, respectively). Reindeer are unquestionably the symbol of Lapland, and around the world, Lapland reindeer are also known as Santa Claus’s most important helpers.
The Reindeer Lake Resort is a working reindeer farm, which was also developed as a agritourism and holiday destination in the 2000s.
We have more than one hundred reindeer at our farm in Pello in Finnish Lapland, and tourists are encouraged to come visit our reindeer. For more information on reindeer visits: HERE.
