Finnish Lapland Winter Family Holiday




Overview
Highlights
- Unplug and fully immerse in the natural beauty of your unique eco-lodge stay in the heart of Hossa National Park, more than 60 miles (+100kms) away from the nearest village
- Be pulled across the landscape at high speed on the back of a dog sled. These incredible huskies are doing what they love most – making a lot of noise before rushing along sprawling trails.
- Visit a local Reindeer Farm where you will get to meet these beautiful animals up close and learn the art of reindeer herding and life on the farm.
- Learn how to make an igloo along with other survival skills from a local guide on a day of adventure in the Finnish wilderness.
- The northern lights (aurora borealis) are the best lightshow on Earth and each night you will have an opportunity to look up at the night sky and hopefully witness the magic for yourself (subject to weather conditions)
