  • Comfortable accommodation in the heart of the Finnish wilderness
  • Exciting activities such as snowshoeing, dogsledding, and snowmobiling
  • Learn about the Sami people and take a reindeer ride

Discover the beautiful wilderness of Finnish Lapland on snowshoes, cross-country skis and snowmobiles. 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, playing with the puppies, 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.
