Lapland · 1-HOUR EXPERIENCES
The good one-hour experiences fill up weeks ahead in high season, and the great ones go first. Below: the 3 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
From central Rovaniemi, an English-speaking guide takes you to a local husky farm for a one-hour program. Meet the dogs, ride 500 to 800 meters in a sled pulled by a team, then warm up with hot juice and cookies while hearing about husky care. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included.
“It was good, but a bit short. The guide was very informative.”
Meet your guide at Arctic Circle Snowmobile Park in Santa Claus Village, suit up, and take a one-hour guided snowmobile ride through Lapland’s snowy forests. Two adults share a machine, with a halfway break to swap drivers. A valid physical driving licence is required to drive; children and unlicensed adults ride in a sled behind the guide.
“We had Aaron as our guide. He is very helpful with our equipment. He was friendly and professional. He explained well with the safety briefing. He took photos of us during the tour. Overall, it was a fun day seeing the forest of Lapland on a snow mobile even on a super cold day. It was -29 Celsius at the start of the tour and the snow suit they provided kept us warm. I highly recommend this company because all of the equipment are in excellent condition.”
Meet Wild About Lapland at Rovakatu 24 in central Rovaniemi for a guided snowmobile outing lasting about two hours, including a one-hour ride. Your guide explains safe riding, and warm clothes, boots, and a helmet are provided. The group is limited to eight, and the activity returns to the meeting point.
“We enjoyed a easy ride around Rovaniemi surrounded by nature. Especial thanks to the Spanish receptionist and her flexibility.”
Pick a sky, a sled or a frozen lake.
