Tripcode: FVB

Countries visited: Finland

Family Groups Get Involved Holidays Winter Activities Wilderness Family Activity
  • Snowshoeing and dogsledding
  • Enjoy a reindeer ride
  • All arctic winter equipment included
Reindeer sleigh ride

Discover the beautiful wilderness of Finnish Lapland on snowshoes, cross-country skis and dogsleds.

Our wilderness base located at the edge of the Oulanka National Park is a truly spectacular setting for this fun-filled winter holiday, designed to introduce you and your family to some of the most popular Nordic activities.

There is a chance to meet the indigenous Sami people of Finland, and take a trip on a traditional reindeer-pulled sleigh.

A highlight of the week will certainly be time on the husky farm, before heading out on a dogsled ride through forests and across frozen lakes.

If you're lucky, and the night sky is clear, you might even catch a glimpse of the magical Northern Lights.
