Activity Information

Snowmobile try out (approx.2 hours) - This is perfect for those who have never tried snowmobiling before. First you are given full safety instructions and a lesson before heading out on a small journey into the nearby surroundings.

Lake Inari Snowmobile Adventure (approx.4 hours) - The guide will show you how to handle the machines, and after a full safety briefing and driving lesson you head out to Lake Inari and its surroundings. Snowmobiling through white winter scenery is a breathtaking experience. During the day, there will be a chance to try ice fishing and lunch by the open fire.

Husky Safari (approx.3 hours) - Husky sledding is a must do experience when visiting Lapland. You will be taught how to drive the sled before heading out for the safari, where the huskies pull the sled through beautiful scenery. Enjoy the dog’s excitement at the start, and the serene silence once they get going. You have lunch before or after the activity, and the guide will also show you around the husky farm. Sleds are based on two people sharing, taking it in turns to drive.

Cross Country Skiing (approx.2hours) - The traditional Finnish winter sport is definitely something you have to try on your trip. Cross country skiing used to be the most common method of transportation – there is no other method as quiet taking you through frozen and snowy scenery than on skis.
