In general you don’t need any special clothing for the reindeer sleigh rides, although we recommend you to wear regular, warm winter outdoor clothing. There are reindeer hides in each sleigh to keep you warm during the ride, but especially for the longer sleigh rides it’s essential to dress warmly. To stay warm it’s very important that your head, shoulders, hands and feet are covered and well protected against the cold.
The best way to keep warm during longer sleigh rides is to wear several layers of clothing: a good combination is for example to wear long underwear (preferably of natural or moist removing materials), woollen mid layer, warm winter outdoor trousers and a jacket. Regular socks topped with woollen socks and winter boots will keep your feet warm and warm mittens or gloves will protect your hands. It is also important to protect your head and neck against the cold by wearing a beanie and a scarf.
Remember that air insulates warmth: therefore, do not wear too small shoes, trousers or gloves. Please pay special attention to children’s clothing, since they are more sensitive to cold than adults!
