This Christmas, you don't have to travel to Lapland to see reindeer.

The real reindeer that roam the winter forest landscape around Polku Hotel bring a touch of northern magic to the heart of Nuuksio’s natural surroundings. Hotel guests have the opportunity to admire the reindeer every day and enjoy a unique Christmas atmosphere in the midst of nature.

An Authentic Encounter on Nature's Terms

Reindeer are not actors or domestic animals, but genuine wild animals with their own will and personality. They often come up close to greet visitors out of curiosity, while at other times they prefer to stay farther away with their herd.

Good to Know

We cannot guarantee that reindeer will approach, be touched, or be photographed at close range on every tour. The service is considered to have been provided even if the reindeer do not come close to the guests during the event. Situations resulting from the natural behavior of reindeer do not entitle you to a refund.

Poron Polku offers an authentic encounter with animals, just as nature provides it for us.
