Tour Information

Experience the magic of Finnish Lapland on an unforgettable Finland Lapland Winter Escape covering the enchanting destinations of Saariselkä and Rovaniemi. This 4-night, 5-day winter holiday combines snowy Arctic landscapes, thrilling winter activities, magical Northern Lights experiences, a unique glass igloo stay and a memorable visit to Santa Claus Village.

Located in northern Finland, Lapland is renowned for its Arctic wilderness, snow-covered forests, reindeer, winter adventures and spectacular aurora displays. Saariselkä is particularly popular for Northern Lights holidays, snowmobile adventures and traditional Lapland experiences, while Rovaniemi, located on the Arctic Circle, is famous as the official hometown of Santa Claus.

Discover Saariselkä

Your Finland winter tour begins with your arrival at Ivalo Airport, followed by a private transfer to Saariselkä. Settle into your accommodation before heading out for an exciting Northern Lights chase with reindeer sledding. Travel through the peaceful Arctic forest at night as you search for the magical auroras. While sightings depend on weather and solar conditions, the experience itself offers a wonderful introduction to the Arctic night.

The following day brings an exhilarating snowmobile safari in Saariselkä. Ride through snow-covered forest trails and admire the beautiful winter scenery of Finnish Lapland. After your adventure, enjoy one of the highlights of the trip – an overnight stay in a glass igloo. Relax in the warmth of your cosy accommodation while looking up at the Arctic sky. Glass-roofed accommodation is one of the signature ways to experience Lapland's winter landscapes and potentially watch the Northern Lights from bed.

Journey to Rovaniemi

Continue your Lapland holiday with a private road transfer from Saariselkä to Rovaniemi, the official hometown of Santa Claus.

Upon arrival, embark on another Northern Lights tour by minivan. Your experienced local guide will take you away from city lights towards suitable viewing locations in the surrounding wilderness. Since the aurora is a natural phenomenon, sightings cannot be guaranteed, but the experience offers an opportunity to enjoy the peaceful Arctic landscape after dark.

Meet Santa in Rovaniemi

Your final full day is dedicated to the magical Santa Claus Village Rovaniemi experience. Meet Santa Claus, visit the famous Santa's Main Post Office and cross the Arctic Circle while capturing memorable photographs. Santa Claus Village is located directly on the Arctic Circle and is open throughout the year.

This Rovaniemi Santa Claus experience is especially appealing for families, couples and anyone looking to experience the festive atmosphere of Finnish Lapland.
