Reindeer Trails and Forest Roads

The morning starts with a short reindeer sleigh ride at a local farm, a gentle 400-meter introduction to one of Lapland's most iconic animals. In the afternoon, you'll head out on a one-hour snowmobile tour through the forests around Rovaniemi, a good first experience on the trails for the whole group.

Huskies, Snowman World, and the Arctic Circle

Begin the day at a local husky farm, where you'll climb aboard a sled and be driven through the snow by your guide. It is a short ride, but long enough to feel the pull of the dogs and the quiet of the forest. In the afternoon, head to Santa Claus Village on the Arctic Circle, where a visit to Snowman World is included. Lunch is served at Snowman World before you explore the village, cross the Arctic Circle, and browse the festive shops and cafés.
