Lapland is a magical winter paradise that enchants adventurous travelers with unique experiences. In this blog, we share four special activities that will make your stay in Lapland unforgettable.
Imagine this: you glide effortlessly through the snowy landscape of Lapland, pulled along by an enthusiastic team of beautiful huskies. This experience, often considered the highlight of any trip to Lapland, is not just a ride – it's a full immersion into northern culture and a unique way to experience nature up close.
Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by the cheerful energy of the huskies, who can't wait to show off their strength and speed. Before you take the reins of the sled yourself, you'll receive a clear explanation of how to interact with the huskies, steer, and brake.
You and your travel buddy will be assigned a sled, pulled by a team of 5 to 6 huskies. While one of you drives the sled, the other enjoys the ride as a passenger, with the option to switch places halfway through. Along the way, you'll not only enjoy the breathtaking scenery but also the special bond you develop with the huskies.
After this adventurous ride, there's nothing better than warming up in a traditional Finnish cabin. With a steaming cup of warm berry juice in your hands – a typical Lapland drink – you'll share stories and memories of an unforgettable adventure.
Step into the footsteps of the Sami, the oldest recognized people in Lapland, and experience an exciting snowmobile adventure. These vehicles, used by the Sami for their daily rides and reindeer gathering, offer a unique glimpse into modern Lapland.
After a thorough driving training, you'll embark on an exciting journey through the Lapland landscapes in pairs. Halfway through, you can switch roles between driver and passenger, so everyone can fully enjoy the adventure.
For those without a driver's license, the passenger option remains available. Families are not forgotten: children from 4 years old can sit in a special sled attached to the instructor's snowmobile, while children taller than 140 cm, with the instructor's permission, can ride as passengers with an adult.
No trip to Lapland would be complete without an evening dedicated to the hunt for the Northern Lights. Your guide will take you to the best spots, far away from light pollution.
While you wait for Mother Nature to reveal her spectacle, you’ll warm up around a cozy campfire. Your guide will share local myths and legends about this phenomenon while explaining the scientific principles behind this celestial dance. To make it even cozier, you can roast sausages or marshmallows, adding an extra touch of magic to this special evening.
For those who want to explore the rugged beauty of Lapland at a more relaxed pace, our snowshoe hike offers a unique experience. Guided by our experts, you'll discover enchanting snowy forests and cross frozen lakes while admiring the diversity of the Lapland winter landscapes.
During this 2 to 3-hour hike of 4 to 8 kilometers, depending on the group, your guide will share interesting facts about the unique flora and fauna of the area. This experience provides a deep dive into the nature of Lapland, far away from the hustle and bustle.
