Welcome to Reindeer Farm Petri Mattus

- join us in winter on reservation -

 

 

Hi, My name is Petri Mattus and I am a Sámi reindeer herder from the municipality of Inari in Lapland of Finland. I live with my family and I herd my reindeer in the village of Menesjärvi on the lap of Hammastunturi wildesness area - next to Lemmenjoki National Park. I invite you to be my family´s guest for a little moment at Reindeer Farm Petri Mattus.

 

I am Sámi reindeer herder just like my father used to be. Reindeer herding is a job that goes from generation to an other. You have to grow into the herding and it must come from your heart. Reindeer herding is a job for me, but it is a life style for the whole family.

​

Reindeer herding is my main job, but sometimes during the winter season or calving season I have a possibility to invite you to join our reindeer programs. Some days I need to reserve time for reindeer work only and then I am unable to have guests visiting us.

 

Please, make the reservation at least the previous day to be sure that we meet and  we will be able to serve you the best way!
