Ice fishing, or as they say pilkki in Finland, is a popular national hobby. On this ice fishing adventure, you’ll head to Lake Äkäslompolo, located in the heart of the village. Once you arrive, you’ll put on snowshoes and search for the perfect fishing spot. After drilling holes in the ice, you’ll sit back and see which bait brings the best catch—grubs or worms. Throughout the trip, you’ll enjoy a warm cup of hot berry juice.
Duration: 2 hours
Price: 51 € / adult and 35,70 € / child
You’ll take a short 20-minute drive to meet the reindeer, those adorable, half-wild creatures of the north. Once the reindeer are harnessed, you’ll settle into sleighs and wrap yourself in cozy blankets. The three-kilometre ride will take you through the pristine wilderness of Lapland, allowing you to soak in the magical tranquility of the forest.
After a half-hour ride, you’ll enjoy homemade berry juice by an open fire inside a traditional Lappish tepee, or kota, while hearing stories about the reindeer and their yearly cycle of life. You’ll also have the chance to take photos with your Arctic traveling companion
Duration: 2 hours 45 mins
Price: 165 € / adult and 115,50 € / child
Ancient Finns once roamed the forests on wooden skis made from birch, but today’s snowshoes are far more advanced. You can still experience that same sense of adventure as you head toward the fells, following gullies carved by glaciers during the last Ice Age. For about three kilometers, you’ll trek through the rugged landscapes of Ylläs-Pallas National Park. The leisurely pace allows you to take in and fully appreciate the stunning surroundings.
Duration: 2.5 hours
Price: 56 € / adult and 39,20 € / child
At your destination, the Ylläs Husky Farm, your guide will introduce you to over a hundred Alaskan and Siberian huskies. Once you’ve learned about the dogs’ customs and habits, you’ll embark on a 9-kilometer husky sleigh safari. Every adult participant has the opportunity to steer the sleigh. After the ride, you’ll gather in a Lappish tepee for coffee with the husky farm guides, where they’ll share fascinating stories about the life of a musher.
Duration: 2.5 hours / 9km
Price: 185 € / adult (sharing husky-sleigh) and 129,50 € / child
You’ll start the tour by selecting your ski equipment. The instructor will first demonstrate the basic techniques of cross-country skiing, and then you’ll practice on a flat surface. Once you’re comfortable with the basics, you’ll head out for a short trip on the groomed skiing tracks.

we do not recommend that children under 6 months travel to Lapland. Please note that participation in safaris for children between the ages of 6 months and 2 years is weather dependent and will be up to the discretion of the local guides who will assess the safety of the activity at the time. If the infant cannot part-take in a safari, one adult will need to stay behind with them. Infants can still participate in the Santa activity day and visit Santa.
