Lapland enchants with magical northern lights and fantastic winter activities. We travel to the northernmost part of Finland and visit the arctic region at -20 degrees in winter.
There are many extraordinary activities in Lapland: husky sledding, feeding reindeers, fat bikes, horseback riding in the snow and visiting Santa Claus in Santa Claus Village.
The starting point for your Lapland trip is Rovaniemi. Rovaniemi Airport is only 3km from the city center. Santa Claus Village is also located here. You can easily spend half a day to a whole day at Santa Claus Village. The village is on the Arctic Circle and Santa Claus is living here. All the Christmas wishes arrive here at the Santa Claus Post Office.
For winter activities, we recommend driving two hours further north of Lapland. In Pyhä and Luosto - two small ski areas - there are wonderful accommodations. We stayed in the wooden house with a glass igloo (http://www.bitly.com/pyha-iglu *). There are other accommodations below in the description of this video. There are husky safaris, driving snowmobile, horseback riding and fat bike tours. In northern Lapland, you are even more likely to see the Northern Lights.
