About this activity

Immerse yourself in a fairy-tale winter wonderland with an all-inclusive excursion starting from Academy Hotel Kemijärvi—the ideal gateway for exploring eastern Lapland’s tranquil, snow-draped landscapes. Your adventure begins stress-free as expert guides equip you with top-tier arctic outerwear before whisking you away through primeval pine forests toward a traditional husky farm. Here, the electric energy of howling huskies gives way to pure serenity as your sled glides silently across 5 kilometers of pristine arctic wilderness. Smelling the pine smoke and holding a warm cup of berry juice, you'll gain deep insight into the ancient art of mushering directly from the locals who live it every day.

The magic deepens as you journey onward to Rovaniemi’s world-famous Santa Claus Village, right on the boundary of the Arctic Circle. After indulging in a rich, soul-warming lunch featuring regional delicacies at the Elves Hotel restaurant, a guided walk uncovers the secret heart of the village. Wander through Santa’s Main Post Office—where millions of letters arrive from every corner of the globe—cross the illuminated Arctic Circle line, and step into a private audience with Santa Claus himself. Designed for families, couples, and winter travelers seeking an authentic Finnish experience without the hassle of planning, this carefully curated journey blends exhilarating outdoor thrill with deep cultural enchantment, sending you back to Kemijärvi with hearts full of arctic wonder.
