Overview
Nestled in a beautiful forested location, Ranua Wildlife Park, just south of the Arctic Circle, is home to a whole host of native and other wildlife. Here you can observe wolves, lynx and moose and even have the chance to help feed the polar bears! With different duration's available and the option to include winter activities, you will have plenty of time to relax and share precious experiences with family and friends.
This great value-for-money winter break, lets you spend quality time together and share wonderful experiences that you'll treasure; it's not every day you get the chance to have breakfast with polar bears!
Based in comfortable two bedroom semi-detached villas just across the road from the Ranua Wildlife Park, you'll enjoy unlimited entry throughout your stay, giving you plenty of opportunities to get to know its 50 animal species. The villas, which can sleep up to 6, have a fully-equipped kitchen and lounge with log burner, and the addition of a private Finnish sauna will have you feeling like a local in no time!
There are several winter activities to choose from making this holiday flexible so you can do as much or as little as you please for those who may wish to relax and soak up the peaceful winter surroundings. Perhaps enjoy an optional day trip to nearby Rovaniemi (with lunch) where you can sample the Finnish design shops at the Arctic Circle, visit the Arctic museum and exhibition centre or, the favourite for kids of all ages, Santa Village! As well as the more active pursuits such as snowmobiling, husky sledding; snowshoeing and nordic skiing.
