Christmas Experience

After the long but exciting wait, this day has finally arrived. It’s time to see the snow-filled forests and fells of Lapland . Your guide will be waiting you at the aiport to take you to your hotel. The rest of the day is free, you can enjoy the beautiful surroundings and explore the city. If the skies are clean you may see some auroras dancing above it.

A snowmobile ride is a highlight of any Arctic adventure, and not to be missed. After a brief introduction to safety and the controls of the snowmobiles, it’s time to set off on our state-or-art snowmobiles for your tailor-made excursion into the wild. Through forests and over hills packed with snow, you’ll drive deep into the wilderness where not many have been. We will stop by a frozen lake where you will learn the traditional way of iCE-SHING.

You wake up to another snow-white morning. After the breakfast, your driver knocks on the door, ready to take you to live a real Christmas story as you search for the Father Christmas and the path to his secret hideaway hut.

Your driver will drive through the remote wilderness until you arrive at the foot of a fell that offers spectacular views over snowy forests and hills. As you step out of the car you notice a red hat that is peeking behind a tree. As you walk closer, you notice that it’s a real elf! As you solve riddles to find the right path to the hidden hut, you will meet some of the Father Christmas’ most trusted elves and learn new skills from them.

After the magical meeting with the old man himself, a reindeer herder elf will be requesting you to help him to feed Father Christmas’ trustworthy travel companions, the reindeer, close by. Maybe you will also hear some exciting stories from their travels.

Are you ready to meet adorable husky dogs and feel the thrill of speed as you slide through the glittering snow?

At the husky farm, you’ll meet the dogs, their excited barks filling the air. You are provided with all the necessary equipment, and taught how to drive a team of dogs. As you slide through the snow and into the wilderness, the barking of the dogs subsides, and all you can hear is the pounding of paws and the sound of the sledge on the snow. Standing on the runners, by placing your weight, the dogs turn, and you are entirely in the moment. The white and magical landscape slips by as the dogs pick up speed.

Afterwards you will have time to pet the dogs, and enjoy hot drinks by a camp fire in a cosy, Lappish ‘kota’ building. As you drive back towards your villa, the sun sets, the sky turns .

The sun hardly rises above the horizon on your final day in Lapland – but the fresh Arctic air and the bountiful memories from your trip will put a smile on your face.
After your breakfast, it’s time to check out and your host is waiting to take you to the airport.
If your departure time allows, we’ll create yet another adventure for the day, as we will be at your disposal until your plane leaves and it’s time to say goodbye to your host.
