Leisure Activities

Husky Sledding

This is certainly an activity youā€™ll never forget. Itā€™s a fantastic experience and where better to give it a try than in spectacular Lapland. Absolutely no experience is necessary with all instruction provided. For those who are really keen to give it a go, you can even go on a 5 day dogsled adventure where you will be given the opportunity to drive your own sled with a team of 4-6 huskies.

Santa Claus

Lapland is the only true destination for families when it comes to visiting Santa Claus. We can pre-book your trip to see the famous man himself and all you have to worry about then is getting the perfect picture to preserve the memory.

Aurora Borealis

Between September and March, it may be possible to witness one of the great natural phenomena, the aurora borealis. No trip to the Arctic Circle is complete without seeing the Northern Lights.

More About Lapland

Lying in Finlandā€˜s northernmost region, deep inside the Arctic Circle, is the sparsely populated winter wonderland of Lapland. Boasting snow-covered forests, vast mountain ranges, and ice-covered lakes, this unique destination looks like itā€˜s straight out of a fairytale storybook and offers the opportunity for a magical luxury holiday experience. Lapland is the place to be over the festive period and you'll definitely leave feeling full of Christmas spirit. We all know Lapland as the home of Santa and you can even visit Santa Claus village. A luxury family holiday here is like nothing you've ever experienced before and you can make your child's dreams come true by meeting the man himself at Rovaniemi. This scenic winter wonderland is generally blanketed in snow from December to April and attractions include the renowned aurora borealis (Northern Lights), husky sledging, snowmobiling, skiing, ice fishing, reindeer safaris, and horse riding. After a busy day out and about, there's nothing better than enjoying a warming meal in front of a crackling log fire - absolute perfection! Levi is a popular resort with a good selection of shops, bars, cafes, and restaurants. Hotel K5 in Levi is a popular choice with couples and families as it's a cosy hotel offering comfortable accommodations and plenty of activities. Saariselka lies in the far North of Finnish Lapland making it one of the best places to witness the Northern Lights. A peaceful and remote location, Saariselka has over 200km of cross-country skiing tracks and a good choice of accommodation options including rooms and apartments.
