Reindeer Trails and a Kota Evening

The morning takes the family to a local reindeer farm for a group sleigh ride and time spent with the animals, with a soup lunch included by the fire. Back at the resort, the afternoon is free to enjoy the surroundings. In the evening, a short bus ride takes you to Kaakkuri Kota for a northern lights campfire under the open sky, with warm drinks and snacks included as you watch the night unfold.

Snowmobiles and Huskies

The morning heads out on a two-hour snowmobile safari through the surrounding forest. Younger children ride in a sleigh rather than on the snowmobile itself, keeping the activity comfortable and enjoyable for the whole family. In the afternoon, head to a local husky farm for a 4km sled ride, with time to meet the dogs before setting off on the trail.

Snowshoes and the Sauna

Begin the day with a group snowshoeing excursion through the winter landscape, strapping on your snowshoes and following your guide through the quiet forest. The afternoon is set aside for a private sauna experience, with a jacuzzi and ice bath to complete the session. A good way to wind down before the final evening at the resort.
