Let it snow! Lapland at the
Arctic Circle An extraordinary vacation to experience the
unforgettable in enchanting
Finland. Visitors flock here in winter
for a true Lappish wilderness experience. It’s a delightful season with
reindeer herds moving silently over majestic fells, northern lights
dancing in the sky and Santa’s elves busy at work. Here people
live in harmony with nature. See our website photos from our visit
here that exceeded our expectations. The Artic Circle is a theater
of sites beyond compare.
Rovaniemi is the capital of Lapland. On
arrival we’re given artic survival suits. Highlights include:
snowmobile safari’s over frozen rivers and forests, visit to husky farm
for dog sledding, a visit to reindeer farm where we drive our own
reindeer sleds, visit to the real Santa Claus Village and
workshop, Artic Circle crossing ceremony where we learn about the
Sami
people, an invigorating AFS Sauna Party and dinner in the Igloo
restaurant where everything but the toilets are made of snow and ice.
Free time at night to experience “white silence on snowshoes.”
Our final 3 days are touring the sparkling capital
Helsinki, where the Christmas Markets come alive with festive
foods and wonderful handicrafts.
Challenge yourself with a visit to the Top of the World
during Finland’s Lively Season. This will reawaken your sense of
adventure with joy and the wildest of dreams.
