Reindeer pulled skiers across a snowy track, with the fastest teams racing a one-kilometre course.
Visitors from several European countries attended the event, which dates back to the 1950s. Today the races are organised competitions involving trained male reindeer.
The three-day event concluded with reindeer named Pompom winning the final race.
