They love the cold and live peacefully in northern nature. Come and meet these animals of the Arctic! First, you will get to visit a local reindeer farm and learn about Lappish culture and reindeer husbandry. Then, it's time to sit back in a reindeer-drawn sleigh and enjoy a peaceful 30-minute ride through the forest. You'll be issued an international Reindeer Driving License before entering the next part of your adventure: a husky kennel! At the kennel, you can try a slightly faster 20-minute ride with the huskies. After the ride, the flames of campfire and hot drinks keep you warm while learning more about these amazing animals. Transfers are done by car.

Lapland is well-known for Santa Claus and his reindeer. What a great way to see both by taking a reindeer safari to the Santa Claus Village! Sitting in a sleigh pulled by reindeer, you’ll journey from the Reindeer Farm to Santa’s Village along the snowy trails of a wintry forest. In the village, you’ll have free time to meet Santa in his office, send postcards from the Santa Claus Main Post Office, and explore handicraft, design, and souvenir shops. Awarded a Reindeer Driving License and a Diploma for Crossing the Arctic Circle, this is an experience you won’t forget. Transfers are done by car.

This is the most Instagrammable destination in Rovaniemi and something you don’t want to miss. Arctic SnowHotel opens on 15 December and is one of the largest snow and ice hotels in the world. Inside the hotel, the temperature is always between 0°C and -5°C, so it is comfortable to visit even if it is very cold outside.

The experience begins with the story behind the hotel, explaining how it is rebuilt from snow and ice every year. Our guide introduces the techniques of snow construction, snow and ice art, and explains what happens to the structure when summer arrives.

After the introduction, one of the hotel’s most special features is demonstrated in practice: the snow sauna. You will see how a sauna made of snow functions and experience the effect of water thrown onto the hot stove. Finally, our guide will lead you inside the hotel, where you are free to explore at your own pace, visit the rooms, and admire dozens of snow and ice sculptures. For an extra arctic twist we recommend popping in the Ice bar to have a drink served in ice glass – this is as cool as it gets!
