Day 2 - 5: Husky tour, horse and reindeer sleigh ride, snowmobile tour
Start your days in the Aitta Lapland Restaurant with an inviting breakfast buffet.

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 7 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 in total.

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. You share a snowmobile in pairs and can take turns driving. For a surcharge it is possible to drive your own snowmobile. 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.
