From Rovaniemi, ride about 30 minutes to a cottage near the lakes for a small-group lesson in creamy Finnish salmon soup. A local host, named Elena or Eliana by past participants, guides the cooking, then you sit down to eat the soup with pie. The class starts at 3 pm, lasts about two hours, and caps the group at eight.

“Driver met us in the hotel with a smile. He told us great stories about his life in Lapland and before. The property that the cottage is situated in is picturesque and beautiful. Very authentic and clean. We had a fun cooking class with Eliana, chef and hostess was a great teacher. She guided us to create a delicious soup. We enjoyed dinner together and for dessert a homemade berry pie. Go on this tour you will not be disappointed!”
