This is going to be the adventure of a lifetime!
Your journey begins in festive Helsinki before carrying you north into the heart of Finnish Lapland — a place of still forests, frozen lakes and star-filled skies. Along the way, you'll share moments that feel straight out of a storybook: gliding through the snow in a reindeer sleigh, racing through the wilderness behind a team of huskies, exploring by snowmobile, and finally meeting Santa himself.
There's adventure every day, but just as many quiet, cosy moments — the ones that often stay with you the longest.
You'll spend your time in Salla Wilderness Lodge, your home in the Arctic. Set among pristine wilderness, it's a place to slow down and soak it all in. By day, take in the endless white landscapes through panoramic windows; by night, look up and, if you're lucky, watch the Northern Lights flicker across the sky. It's peaceful, remote, and completely unforgettable.

Itinerary:
This evening, step aboard the Santa Express overnight train — a highlight in itself. Settle into your private sleeper cabin, perhaps visit the restaurant carriage for a warm meal or drink, then drift off to sleep as the train glides through snow-covered forests and frozen lakes.
On your transfer to Salla, the scenery becomes beautifully remote — endless white landscapes, silent forests, and crisp Arctic air.
Salla is proudly known as "in the middle of nowhere" — and that's exactly its charm. No crowds, no rush — just pure wilderness and a deep sense of calm.
Home over the next few days will be the beautiful and authentic Salla Wilderness Lodge. With it's large panoramic windows at the surrounding landscape comes right into view, overlooking ancient pine forests with the gentle slopes of the Sallatunturi fells beyond. As you take in the scenery, there's time to slow down, watch the forest, and observe the quiet details of life in the Arctic.
Tonight, gather for a traditional Lappish dinner in a cosy kota hut. Warm firelight, local flavours, and a relaxed atmosphere make for a memorable welcome to Lapland.
With a bit of luck, tonight — or in the nights ahead — you may witness the Northern Lights dancing across the sky .
Warm up around the fire with hot drinks before heading back. Special issue to take home to show family and friends – a Reindeer Driving Licence!
You'll meet your husky team — excited, eager, and ready to run. After a quick introduction, you'll set off through the snowy landscape, taking turns driving your sled. It's exhilarating, but also incredibly scenic.
Halfway through, you'll pause by the fire to warm up before continuing your journey.
If the sky is clear tonight, you may head out in search of the Northern Lights — one of those moments you never quite forget.
Following your guide, you'll travel by snowmobile through forests and across open landscapes to Ruuhitunturi Fell. At the top, the views stretch for miles — snow-covered trees, frozen lakes, and endless white horizons.
You'll stop along the way to warm up, enjoy lunch, and take it all in before heading back
On snowshoes, you'll walk through the forest at an easy pace, noticing the small details — animal tracks, the silence, the crisp air. Your guide will share stories about the landscape and wildlife as you go.
Later, try ice fishing on a frozen lake. It's simple, peaceful, and a very local experience — just you, the ice, and a bit of patience.
Travelling by snowmobile and sleigh, you'll head deep into the forest to find Santa's cabin, hidden among the trees. It feels wonderfully real — quiet, snowy, and just a little magical.
Each family has a private visit with Santa. There's time to talk, take photos, and enjoy the moment — and for children, a special gift makes it even more memorable.
While you wait, there's plenty of fun outside in the snow, with time to play, explore, and warm up with hot drinks.
It's a special kind of day — one that stays with you long after you leave.
Depending on your time of departure from Rovaniemi, take time to visit Santa Village and send a postcard back home to your envious family and friends.
Your time in Lapland may have come to an end but you're leaving with a suitcase full of memories of snowy forests, quiet moments, shared laughter, and a taste of Arctic magic.
