Esko Kultima also offers reindeer safaris close to Hetta and one other company - Hannun porofarmi - offers longer tours out to the pastures c. 30km west of Hetta.For those more attracted to speed, both the people who run Hetta's snow castle also run the safari company'Nakkala'. They offer snowmobile safairs of various lengths.
If you want to simply hire your own snowmobile and venture forth without a guide, 'Joen Safaris' based just down the hill from Hotel Majatalo, are probably one of your best options. Be very very careful if you do this, however, that you do not venture off the designated trails since you will have no idea where the weak ice crossing rivers and lakes lie are underneath the soft cover of snow!

Interesting Footage:
Sled Dogs in Lappish History We often hear that sled dogs are alien to Lapland (but then so, too, are snowmobiles). However, it is interesting to find early films showing that their use and role in our small part of the world is not so limited to just modern touristic times.
Hetta Rises from the Ashes Hetta was pretty much raised to the ground after the 2nd world war as the German's departed. This film is from the period of reconstruction.
Reindeer Racing World Cup I have just included this to give an insight into an annual festival of reindeer racing (and other Sami persuits) which takes place around Easter, each year, on St. Mary's day.
Mountain Biking in Enontekiö An insight into the kind of cross country trails which abound through the wilderness areas.
Reindeer Herding in Enontekiö An old black and white film.
Näkkälä A classic film from this area from a homestay
The World of the Laps Reindeer Herding in Enontekiö. An old black and white film.
Swedish Reindeer Herding Documentary: This award-winning documentary by a friend of mine, Olly Steeds, resulted in him getting his bottom spanked by me for its easy line down the popular ideology route. It is always easier, but not necessarily correct, to follow the 'easy' expose option.

Regional Portal of Lapland
The regional Internet service that covers the whole of Lapland was launched at the end of 2009. The portal provides information and services related to living and studying in Lapland, travelling and tourism in Lapland, entrepreneurship in Lapland and general information about the region.
The Internet service is now up and running, and the further development of the service is organised by the development project of the regional portal of Lapland by the Regional Council of Lapland, launched at the end of 2008. The funding for the project is granted from the European Regional Development Fund.
The objective of the service is to make finding information and services in Lapland easy, and for Lapland to be better distinguished as one unified region in the vastly-expanding information flood in the global world. In addition, the Internet service markets Lapland for tourists, promotes Lapland as a great place to live, study, and do business, and supports the development of electronic services in Lapland.
