LAPLAND
DAY TO DAY ITINERARY
Upon arrival in Kittila Aiport, you will meet your guide and then, head to the hotel in Ylläs. The transfer time is about 1 hour.
Today you will participate in an exciting snowmobile safari that suits both beginners as well as more experienced drivers. After the safety and driving instructions, you will drive by snowmobiles through snowy forests, on frozen lakes, and swamps. A skilled snowmobile guide will teach you the driving techniques, how to cross the roads, and drive safely on the ice. The trip includes a stop for a cup of hot drink and a doughnut on the way.
Prepare today for a great, traditional Lappish adventure. After a 15-minute transfer to a local husky farm, you will meet the musher and his Arctic dogs at his place. To begin with your Husky Safari, first, you will learn how to steer the husky sleigh and get on the path of the first explorers with a 10-km husky safari through the magnificent taiga forest and frozen marsh. Two passengers are sharing the sleigh, taking turns driving. After the ride, the musher will tell about the life of the dogs by an open fire where we enjoy a hot drink and biscuits.
Another day in the fantastic Arctic nature. Today a relaxing snowmobile safari will whisks you through scenic landscapes to an idyllic reindeer farm. There, you'll learn facts about traditional reindeer husbandry and take a 2 km ride in a reindeer sleigh! Hot drinks with delicious homemade cookies are served around a cozy open fire. Afterward, your adventure continues by snowmobile back to the Safari Club. Transfer to the Safari Club are included from your hotel.
Today you will enjoy a safari that will drive all the way up to Ylläs fell. With clear weather, the sceneries are breathtaking as you will stand on top of the highest hill of the area. You can see neighboring fells and all the way to Sweden. While viewing the sceneries, you will have a break at the top café for a hot drink and a doughnut. The journey continues before heading back to the village of Ylläsjärvi through the snow-covered forest.
A magical and unforgettable night on the frozen nature. You will drive our eSleds to a good location, away from Ylläs village lights, to find an ideal spot for observing the Northern Lights. On a clear night, you can admire the night sky and stars, and if you're lucky, even the magical Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis. On Ylläs meridian, the chances of witnessing this amazing phenomenon are high, so let’s hope for a favorable night! Our guide will gladly assist with camera settings if you'd like to capture some photos. During the stop, you’ll warm yourselves by the fire and enjoy a Finnish-style grilling.
For the last night, enjoy the ultimate experience: dip yourself into a frozen lake for an amazing and relaxing adventure of ice floating! If the weather is clear, you can gaze at beautiful stars and might even marvel at the magnificent Northern Lights. This guided activity is completely safe, using a high-quality rescue suit that covers your entire body and keeps you dry. With your own clothing underneath, you’ll stay warm even in the 0-degree water. Lying down in the ice hole between the ice blocks is a truly Arctic experience worth trying! After floating, you’ll have time to gather around the fireplace and enjoy a hot drink and biscuits.
​At the requested time, transfer to the airport for your return flight. In case the flight leaves in the afternoon/evening, ask us for more alternatives.
