6-Nights Lapland: A Winter Wonderland - Tailormade Journeys — CALL

1 Arrive Kittila, Finland

A winter’s dream deep in the Arctic Circle, Kittila offers a bracing escape. While many come to hit the slopes at Levi or set out on Lemmenjoki’s epic backcountry routes, not all the town’s snow-bound adventures require a ski pass. Here, you can discover an entire village hewn from ice, go husky sledding into the wilderness and embark on a thrilling snowmobile ride beneath the green and purple glow of the northern lights.

Hop aboard a two-person dogsled for a thrilling, guided jaunt into the wilderness, swapping drivers halfway through. On a guided snowshoe hike, experience the silence of wintery Lappish forests while learning about the local way of life. Immersed in the Arctic night, travel by snowmobile through powdered forest and onto a frozen river in search of the northern lights. Sip warm beverages and savor a snack around a campfire immersed in this natural spectacle.

The drive from Levi to Rovaniemi is a scenic journey through the winter landscapes of Finnish Lapland. Ready to explore Rovaniemi, discover Santa’s hideaway in the depths of the Secret Forest, where you might find yourself in Santa’s Command Center. As the elves show you around, discover how his magical postal system works and meet with Santa Claus himself.

Rovaniemi, a microcosm of the high Arctic, shimmers with twinkling lights and reindeer herds. Snow-dusted spruces and fairy-lit streets create a magical Christmas scene. At Palovaara Farm, experience the owners’ way of life, rooted in hunting, fishing, and locally gathered ingredients. Your host shares the farm’s history and prepares a feast featuring their catch and foraged berries. Explore the farm and learn about the Finnish sauna, a daily ritual. For the ultimate Arctic experience, dip yourself into a frozen lake under the Aurora during a guided evening float.

A private flight whisks you to Lulea. From your floating hotel, set out on a magical reindeer safari to Santa Claus Village. Meet Santa in his office and meander through the charming village. This unforgettable adventure culminates with a reindeer driver’s license and a diploma. As night falls, enjoy a three-course dinner in a cozy tipi tent on an ice-covered lake. With luck, the northern lights will dance across the sky, adding an ethereal touch.

At Silba Siida, gather around a crackling fire, enjoying steaming hot coffee and traditional Sámi food. Meet the reindeer, sing songs, and immerse yourself in the heart of Sapmi. In a cozy Lavvu tent, explore the natural wonders of Swedish Lapland with a local forager. Create an herbal tea blend and healing beeswax ointment using locally sourced ingredients, taking your creations home to continue the therapeutic benefits. Over a cup of your tea blend, soak up the natural beauty surrounding you. This evening, a meal of locally sourced, sustainable Arctic cuisine featuring honey, wild meat, fish, fresh herbs and berries awaits.
