Welcome the New Year in the nature of Finnish Lapland!
On this special trip, you welcome the New Year like never before! Away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, you find yourself in the nature of Lapland to celebrate New Year's Eve in an old, traditional way. Instead of the loud bang at the turn of the year, you can enjoy peace, reflection and some winter activities. Take a look back at the past year and look forward to what the future may hold for you.
Traditional New Year in Lapland: Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival
After your arrival at Oulu or Kuusamo Airport, a transfer will pick you up and bring you to the hotel, where you will be welcomed with a home-cooked Finnish dinner. Settle in comfortably before you can take a few steps into the darkness in the evening and look out for the Northern Lights already.
Day 2: Introduction day
Today, after a nice long breakfast, you will get information about the program, a short tour around the lodge and your outer clothing for polar temperatures. Explore the beautiful surroundings around you and end the day in the sauna.
Day 3: At leisure
Organize the day as you wish! You can book guided activities or hire equipment and set off on your own (see "Extras"). The surrounding area is beautiful and just waiting to be discovered by you. Enjoy the peace and tranquillity and relax in the sauna before going to dinner and indulging in typical Finnish dishes.

Enjoy the last day of the year to the fullest and design it according to your preferences. In the evening, enjoy a traditional Finnish dinner in a cozy kota. Review the past year by the warm fire before welcoming the New Year with sparkling wine and star sparklers at midnight. With a bit of luck, the Northern Lights will dance in the sky and ring in the New Year with you.
Day 5 - Day 7: Individual New Year's program
On these days, you can relax, for example in the hot smoke sauna, which is included one afternoon during your stay, and cool off in an ice hole afterwards if you dare. You can also choose between many different excursions (at an extra charge, see "Extras").
The optional guided tours include fat biking in the snow, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing or a visit to a reindeer farm. You also have the opportunity to go on husky safaris or snowmobile tours of varying lengths. Glide through the wilderness of Lapland and enjoy the breathtaking nature of the far north! Let us know if you are interested in one of the excursions - we will tailor your trip according to your wishes!
Day 8: Departure
After a final breakfast, you will be taken back to the airport for your journey home. With renewed strength, you are now ready to face the new year in all its facets!
Accommodation:
You will spend the nights in a cozy apartment with its own sauna. The lodge is built entirely of wood and has a traditional, authentic and familiar atmosphere. Located right by Lake Jokijärvi, this is the perfect starting point for unique excursions. Each apartment has its own entrance, separate sleeping and living areas, toilet, shower and sauna.
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.
