Northern lights hunt – get ready to embark on various trips across the Lappish wilderness in the search of Aurora Borealis. The northern lights are mostly seen outside the city areas and far from any light pollution, when the sky is clear. If you’re set to discover the secrets of the northern lights, then prepare yourselves for diverse tours and excursions.
Reindeer and husky trips – husky and reindeer sled rides are just one step away from all Lapland inhabitants and visitors. This traditional way of transportation will bring your closer to the Lappish culture, but also to these beautiful huskies and reindeer, which are a synonym of a Northern winter. You will also spot reindeer outside if you will walk close to the forests or snowy parks, as these animals are part of the locals’ daily life. Of course, if you want to feed a reindeer or to get closer, you can visit a reindeer farm.
Snowmobile rides and skiing – if speed is fuelling you up, a drive on a snowmobile on the snowy terrain, hills, or forests for sure will complete your Lapland experience. You can choose the routes that suit you best and advance your adventure around the Arctic Circle. For ski lovers – Lapland can become your second home, as sky opportunities are endless here. Cross-country skiing is the most popular in Finland, for example.
Greet Santa – you can visit Santa’s house in Rovaniemi, his hometown, and also meet his faithful elves. Year after year he’s making sure to read all the letters he gets and pack carefully presents for children waiting for him around the world. When in Rovaniemi, you can take a photo with him and send postcards from Santa’s post office to your dear ones.
Sami culture and traditions – the oldest Northern culture is a vibrant landmark for Lapland, that is worth exploring while working or living in northern Finland. If you want to go by their steps, you need to know that fishing, hunting, and reindeer herding are activities that advanced the Sami population. Their traditional handicrafts include textiles and clothing items that are highly appreciated for their sustainable origin. Wood cups, jewelry items, and other traditional products will catch your attention, while Sami shoes or gloves will keep you warm amidst the harshest winters. To get warmed, try Sami cuisine and experience the pure taste of local ingredients. Most Sami dishes are based on reindeer meat, fish, and berries.
And the most important – enjoy a slow life and the peace of Lappish nature! Don’t forget to take deep breaths of fresh air, indulge in unique natural landscapes, and take the best out of this adventure, either work or leisure time.
