Experience 6: Snowmobile Safaris to the Arctic Wilderness 🏔️
Cover vast snowy distances quickly on a snowmobile safari. From frozen rivers to fells with panoramic views, this is an exhilarating way to explore. It’s a highlight for many on Lapland trips, especially those on a Northern Lights trip — snowmobiles can take you to remote spots with unobstructed skies.
Our itineraries often blend snowmobile safaris with other adventures, like adding a short flight to Tromsø or a train ride through Norway’s fjords, making it part of a travel Scandinavia in two weeks journey.
Experience 7: Overnight in an Ice Hotel or Glass Igloo 🏨
Imagine falling asleep under the stars in a glass igloo or inside an intricately carved ice suite. These resorts in Lapland are works of art, rebuilt each year. Waking up to the Arctic sunrise from your bed is an experience unlike any other.
We match clients with the right hotels in Finland or Sweden that balance comfort, design, and location. Including this in your Nordic cities tour or Iceland and Norway travel plan makes your trip not just memorable but once-in-a-lifetime.
Experience 8: Skiing and Snowboarding in Lapland 🎿
While many think of Lapland holidays as purely about the Northern Lights trip, winter sports here are world-class. The region’s ski resorts — such as Levi, Ylläs, and Ruka — offer everything from gentle beginner slopes to challenging off-piste runs. These resorts in Lapland are modern, well-equipped, and surrounded by breathtaking Arctic landscapes.
For those on extended Lapland trips or a Nordic travel itinerary, skiing can be combined with cultural and nature experiences, creating a balanced adventure. Imagine starting your morning on the slopes, enjoying lunch in a cozy lodge, and ending the day watching the Arctic Northern Lights from your private cabin. We arrange ski passes, equipment rentals, and stays in hotels in Finland or Sweden that are just steps away from the action.
Experience 9: Exploring Frozen Waterfalls & Winter Hiking 🥾
If you’re looking for an adventure that’s both peaceful and awe-inspiring, winter hiking in Lapland is a must. Trails lead you to frozen waterfalls, snow-covered canyons, and forests so silent you can hear your own footsteps in the snow. Many travelers book Lapland trips just to see these landscapes — especially photographers chasing that soft Arctic light.
Our guided hikes can be added to Lapland holidays or even combined with a multi-country Nordic tour, linking your Arctic trek with a Nordic capitals tour or an Iceland and Norway travel experience. This way, you get the best of both worlds — the raw, untouched Arctic wilderness and vibrant cultural capitals.
