Finnish wilderness * Exciting activities such as snowshoeing, dogsledding, and snowmobiling * Learn about the Sami people and take a reindeer ride
iscover 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 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.
