Lapland Adventure activity selection
Horse Riding
Enjoying a horse back-ride (or perhaps a sleigh ride) is a gentle way to take in your surroundings whilst in Lapland. The local horses to Lapland are strong and loving creatures, who wouldn’t turn their nose up at a little snack if offered. Together, you and the horses can take a memorable ride around the local forests and breathe in the wonderfully fresh air.
You can either opt to go for a horse ride, or if you would prefer to huddle up warmly as a family, you can enjoy a sleigh ride instead.
Our excursions are added extras you can book as part of your Lapland holiday.
Enjoy the winter magic whilst riding along snowy forest trails. With a rose tinted sky being seen through the snow-laden trees, you will get the feeling of an enchanted journey on horseback.
A perfect experience for both beginner and experienced riders, you will warm up after your hack with a hot drink and cookie. You may also choose to sit back and relax in a one horse open sleigh under the starry night sky, being in search of the Northern Lights.

| Horse and Sleigh – 15 minutes | Pre-bookable | |

Husky Safari
Be a part of a long-standing tradition of Husky-sledding, a way for people to move across the land of ice and snow and transport their goods. Our Lapland Safaris are designed with you and your family in mind – to immerse yourself in Lapland life.
Our Husky rides are great fun for all the family and are definitely worth participating in whilst you enjoy this once in a lifetime holiday experience. The huskies are always animated and ready to go. As soon as they are harnessed to their sleds, the sound of excited barking fills the air. The huskies are in their element as the sled glides across the pristine snow.
After some essential instruction you and your team of huskies will be on your way. Keeping in line along the trails, speeding through the wilderness and weaving through the deep forest in the low winter sun.
Our husky excursions have been tailor-made to suit all ages, experience and fitness levels. With the shorter safaris being the most popular, there are also longer half-day trips and an evening safari in search of the Northern Lights.

Our excursions are added extras you can book as part of your Lapland holiday.
Snowshoeing
Take a gentle guided snow-shoe walk, immersing yourself in the stunning Arctic Circle scenery. Breathe in the fresh air as you reach some spectacular and untouched beauty spots. On your well deserved break you will take a seat ready for hot drinks and interesting stories about the night sky, Northern Lights and the Lappish culture.
Choose to take a daytime trip or an evening walk, searching for the magical show of the Northern Lights.
Ice Karting
Get competitive and race your friends and family in this exciting ice-karting event, take your turn at rallying around the course and see who is your speediest team member. Ice-karts are easy to drive and similar to Go-Karts but on a snow-packed track.
This exciting event from Levi and Saariselka includes driving instructions, helmets, thermal suits, boots and gloves. With warm up laps, heats and a final with prizes, you will be the Lewis Hamilton of the ice-karting world in no time.
Snow Village & Bar excursion
The clever lighting of the snow, ice-sculptures and wall-carvings, and the way the lights glow through the solid ice ‘furniture’ creates a mystical feel to the Lainio Snow Village & Bar.
Each winter it takes over 27,000 cubic metres of snow, chunks of river-ice up to a metre thick and weighing up to 3 tonnes, and a team of 50 people working flat out for 350 hours, to create its impressive 4,500 square metres of this village. Beautiful carvings decorate the rooms, courtyards, ice bar, restaurant and Ice Chapel.
From Levi and Ylläs, a day visit includes a tour around the Snow Village & bar and a trip into the Ice Grotto where you can see ice sculptures and decorated snow suites on show.
Wilderness dining experience
Take a scenic snowmobile sleigh ride through the snowy landscape past forests and icy lakes to arrive at a traditional Finnish cabin in the woods that surround Levi. Enjoy a three course meal made with local and foraged ingredients for a unique dining experience.

Don’t worry about trying to stay awake into the early hours, all our accommodation options provide a wake-up call when the light display is overhead to ensure you don’t miss a moment.
Depending on your preference you can book a cosy igloo for 2 or a comfy cabin to include the children.
Our excursions are added extras you can book as part of your Lapland holiday.
Reindeer Activities
Reindeers are famously gentle creatures, despite their stature and are a peaceful way to see Lapland. Local people have worked with reindeer for many generations and they are a part of the locals way of life.
Our animal winter excursions are designed so that you have the best possible Lapland experience. Choose between three Reindeer rides for your Lapland holiday. Our excursions with all these wonderful animals will help you capture the magic and create lasting memories of this amazing place.
Time with the reindeers is certainly special, whether you want to say hello or you take a sleigh ride with them – it is worth taking the time to slow down and enjoy them as well as your surroundings.
Our excursions are added extras you can book as part of your Lapland holiday.
Reindeer Discovery and Adventure
Visiting a local reindeer farm gives you an evocative picture of the traditional lifestyle, in which reindeer play a central part. You will hear great stories from your hosts and learn all about the reindeer, including their fondness for mushrooms.
Ride in a reindeer sleigh through the snowy fells and forests, which feels as if you have entered the secret world of Narnia through a magic wardrobe. At least until your reindeer decides to pause for a snack on some tasty lichen under the snow… some do have a stubborn streak.
Either way, you can get close to one of our (and Santa’s) favourite animals – something not to be missed!
Reindeer Herding Experience and Picnic
You now have truly a special, once in a lifetime chance to experience something only very few in the world have – immerse yourself in the world of authentic reindeer herding lifestyle!
Experience the dozens of gentle reindeer coming to you – feed them from your hand, take pictures and videos with hundreds of them surrounding you from all sides.
Afterwards, enjoy the warmth of a campfire whilst grilling homemade sausages or having sandwiches. Have a cup of coffee or tea and just relax. That’s what the reindeer herding experience is all about!

Ski Excursion
Adding a ski package, lesson or taster to your Lapland holiday is a brilliant way to make the most of your Arctic adventure. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned skier, there’s something magical about gliding through snow-dusted forests and peaceful fell scenery.
It’s great fun, a little exhilarating, and a chance to ski somewhere new, alongside all the other incredible experiences on offer. Whether you are looking for an hours lesson to give it a go or you want to hire equipment for the week and enjoy the slopes each day – We’re here to cater to your ski needs.
Snowmobile Safari
There is no better way to speed around the arctic ice and snow than on a snowmobile – a great way to have some fun and see all that Lapland has to offer.
Snowmobiles are actually an easy way for local people to get around and are widely used in the arctic area – they make much more sense than a car when your homeland is covered in snow for most of the year.
Why not take this opportunity to give it a go yourself.
*We would recommend booking the shorted Snowmobile trips with younger children due to the cold weather outside. We would recommend booking your Snowmobile trip at your earliest convenience to ensure booking your preferred time slot (for example if you want to spend your Snowmobile trip chasing the Northern Lights, you will need an evening booking).
Our excursions are added extras you can book as part of your Lapland holiday.
Experience an exhilarating ride through the breath-taking arctic scenery, changing from deep pine forests, fells, moorland, to the wide open expanses of frozen lakes and rivers.
You will be kitted out in some serious winter gear, including complete thermal suits and boots, thick gloves and insulated helmets. With the surprisingly easy to drive snowmobiles you will be on your trip in no time. Pausing for a break halfway through to really take in the snowy wilderness that is around you.
Choosing from daytime and evening safaris, there is a snowmobile safari for everyone to enjoy.
