All pictures of this partner Day 2 - 4: Husky tour, horse and reindeer sleigh ride, snowmobile tour
Start your days in the Aitta Lapland Restaurant with an inviting breakfast buffet.
After that you go on one of the following 4 tours:
Tour 1: Dog Sledding
Huskies are one of the most popular animals in the North. You will understand why when you meet them. You can cuddle and take pictures with them, listen to their stories, and for the highlight of the day, drive a sled dog team yourself. On a 5 to 10 km safari, the dogs pull you through the deep snowy winter landscape while you stand in the back of the sled as the musher (dog sled driver). This excursion takes about 2 hours.
Tour 2: Horse sleigh ride through the Arctic nature
Experience the wonderful tranquillity of the Finnish north when you are snuggled up in a horse-drawn sleigh. The snow glistens under the hooves and the breath of you and the horses steams in the clear winter air as you explore the white wilderness of Rovaniemi. Enjoy the beauty of your surroundings during this tour that lasts about 2 hours in total.
Tour 3: With reindeer through the night
Immerse yourself on a journey through the magical Arctic forest at night! In the darkness far from the light pollution of large cities, thousands of stars shine in the sky on a clear day. You'll ride in a reindeer sled through the pristine wilderness and when you spot the glow of a campfire, you'll know that a break with hot drink and fascinating stories from the reindeer herders awaits you. With luck, the Northern Lights will accompany you on your approximately three-hour ride through the Lapland winter night.
Tour 4: Snowmobile Safari
Prepare for a ride to unusual places! Snowmobiles allow you to experience the beauty of Finnish Lapland's nature at its best. Hop on your snowmobile and ride through snow-covered pine forests and frozen swamps until you stop for a moment to enjoy a hot drink in peace. After about 2 hours, you will return from your drive through the Arctic landscape.
Day 6: Departure
After a final delicious breakfast, it's time to say goodbye to Lapland. A driver will take you back to the airport, from where you will start your journey home with many new impressions and memories.
During the winter season from December to April, Finnish Lapland is a true winter wonderland where there is never a shortage of activities. From dining at the beautiful Aitta restaurant to various adventures, you will definitely not be bored during your stay.
There is a free giant slide on the premises and a frozen lake right next to the resort, which invites you to take an afternoon stroll on its thick ice cover.

Build snowmen, go sledding or just walk around the beautiful resort and take pictures - the list of possibilities is endless!

Additional Information:
The order of tours and activities within this itinerary may vary due to weather conditions and other contributing factors that must be taken into account by the guides when planning your tour. You will receive the exact order of activities once you arrive on site. The far north can have fluctuating and unpredictable weather with very strong temperature differences. The safety of guests and animals comes first, and for this reason, we reserve the right to change the itinerary and intensity of activities if and when needed. This involves both adjustments due to insufficient snow (meaning we cannot drive the sleds) or too much snow (snowstorms and extreme cold can cause accidents and various other problems). The required adjustments and fallback options in rare cases are based on the day-to-day conditions and can be compensated by shorter or longer daily stages, alternative accommodations, or even single day trips. In extremely rare cases we may organise alternative transport (ie. cars, quad bikes, etc). Feel free to contact us if you would like a more detailed assessment of this tour and travel period.The service providers and tour providers always perform their services in compliance with and in accordance with the official requirements and requirements applicable at the time of stay. For this reason, corona-related reasonable usage rules or restrictions may arise when using said services. Please note these official requirements (Google Translate).
Note: We recommend booking additional categories and guided activities directly with the tour package (several weeks or months before arrival), as these may be fully booked at the time of travel. Some activities are only available on certain dates and not for the entire season.
