Spend the night in nature like reindeer herders in Rovaniemi

In Porovaara you too can spend the night in an authentic reindeer herders' lean-to (laavu) in the middle of a reindeer pasture. An experience that combines the magnificent nature of Lapland with an ancient way of life close to it!
- Transportation to the Porovaara Hill private area and back.
- Guide services throughout the night.
- Breakfast and evening snack.
- Reindeer fur sleeping bag (includes a protective inner layer).
