Itinerary

Day 1 -November 30, 2024
Huskies, Reindeer, and Northern Lights

Overnight stay at hotel, lunch & dinner included  

 

Your Lapland adventure begins with a visit to a husky farm, where you'll have the opportunity to take a thrilling cart ride (weather permitting) with these incredible athletes. The activity is only operated if the temperature is 10 degrees or lower for animal welfare reasons. If conditions allow, with enough snow, the ride will be done with sledges. Learn about the extensive preparation and conditioning that goes into making these dogs the amazing athletes they are. Visit the kennel and get a feel for how the dogs are prepared for their demanding roles.


After your exhilarating husky experience, enjoy a hearty lunch before embarking on a 3-hour drive to Ruka. Upon arrival, you'll visit a local reindeer farm, where you'll immerse yourself in the world of reindeer. Hear stories of the year of the reindeer and the farm's history, admire the beautiful countryside, and feed the reindeers with their calves. Visit the handicraft workshop and farm shop to explore local crafts and products.


The day's adventure concludes with a unique and relaxing experience: Yoga with reindeer. Enjoy well-being in nature as you learn some reindeer-inspired yoga poses, a perfect way to unwind and connect with the serene Arctic environment.


Day 1 of "Lapland's Winter Wonderland" sets the stage for an unforgettable family journey filled with Arctic wonders, cultural insights, and moments of tranquility amidst the beauty of Lapland.
