RESEVATIONS REQUIRED
Welcome to Reindeer Farm Petri Mattus
- join us in winter
ON RESERVATION
My name is Petri Mattus and I am a Sámi reindeer herder just like my father used to be. I live with my family in in the village of Menesjärvi in municipality of Inari, Lapland of Finland. I herd my free roaming reindeer on the lap of Hammastunturi wildesness area and next to Lemmenjoki National Park.
In winter I invite You to be my family´s guest for a little moment at our Reindeer Farm, which is also our home. Remember to book Your visit.
​
Reindeer herding is a job which goes from generation to an other. You have to grow into the herding and it must come from your heart. It is a job for me, but life style for my whole family.
​
The well-being of the reindeer and the herding work are most important for me, but some days during the winter 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!
What is a Reindeer Farm?
Reindeer farm is a home for my family, but it is also a base for my reindeer herding work. The reindeer live free in the nature all year round and most of my work is done in the road less wilderness - I invite you to join me to the nature!
