Overview
Immerse yourself in a fairy-tale winter wonderland with an all-inclusive excursion from Academy Hotel Kemijärvi, the ideal gateway to eastern Lapland’s snow-draped landscapes. Expert guides equip you with arctic outerwear before whisking you through pine forests to a husky farm. The energy of howling huskies gives way to serenity as your sled glides 5 kilometers through wilderness. Smelling pine smoke and holding berry juice, you'll learn the art of mushering from local experts.
The magic continues at Rovaniemi’s Santa Claus Village on the Arctic Circle. After a lunch featuring delicacies at the Elves Hotel restaurant, a guided walk reveals the village’s highlights. Visit Santa’s Main Post Office, cross the Arctic Circle line, and enjoy an audience with Santa Claus. Designed for families, couples, and winter travelers seeking an authentic Finnish experience without planning hassle, this curated journey blends outdoor adventure and cultural enchantment before returning you to Kemijärvi
