Package tour: Ritni/Frozen – Snow adventure in Sápmi – 4 Days

Experience snow-covered Sápmi on your own as well as in company of a guide and find yourself mesmerised by the lights, both night and day. Our small cabin accommodation Reindeer Lodge is the base for your stay, nestled in the woods and with the reindeer as your nearest neighbour. Here you will find balance between activity and relaxation for you, your partner, family and friends. The surroundings and experiences can be evocative of the Frozen movies, and this is hardly surprising considering the proximity to reindeer, snow and ice, lávvu tents and northern lights, etc. If you like, you can build your own snowman, there is plenty of material.
