The Lapland Experience
Arrival in Rovaniemi: Gateway to the Arctic Charm
Your journey begins in Rovaniemi, warmly welcomed by a private driver from the Arctic Light Hotel. It’s more than a hotel—it’s an Arctic hideaway where modern Finnish design meets local heritage. Settle in, enjoy an exquisite dinner, and prepare for footsteps in snow.
Why This Lapland Winter Will Live With You
Ice-Swimming, Saunas & Northern Lights Hunts
Immerse in contrast: dip into frozen lakes, then warm up in saunas hidden among forest trees. In crisp nights you ride snowmobiles away from the city lights. Your guide takes you to spots where the sky can paint itself in greens, purples, and pinks, all under the vast Arctic dome.
Husky Sleds, Reindeer & Arctic Traditions
In silence broken only by paws on snow, mushers and husky teams become your companions. Experience the thrill of speed through quilts of white. Visit reindeer farms, chat with herders, share snacks, learn old tales. And for those in a festive spirit, Santa Claus Village adds sparkle and childlike wonder.
Ice-driving & Wilderness Play
Over frozen lakes and snow-leafed landscapes, try your hand at ice-driving under expert instruction. Feel controlled skids and crisp air. Between bursts of adrenaline, quiet moments: looking out across snowfields, breathing in stillness, watching skies shift color.
Helsinki Finale: Culture, Cuisine & Quiet Urban Comfort
A short flight delivers you from wilderness to Helsinki’s composed elegance. Hotel Haven becomes your refined base. Stroll through Suomenlinna fortress islands, explore galleries, taste modern Nordic cuisine, uncover Helsinki’s winter soul—all in preparation for home, yet never quite ready to leave.
