Visit: Finland – Saariselkä & Rovaniemi
Finish Lapland offers a wintery paradise that has attracted visitors from all around the globe. Snow covered forests, the Northern lights, clear days and numerous activities are a few of the attractions that keep visitors returning year after year, oh and of course Santa Claus himself. This tour has been modified to offer two of our favorite properties in Finish Lapland. Both are suitable for families and couples. Travelling from Saariselka to Rovaniemi (or v.v) is an experience on its own and will offer you a true glimpse of life in Finnish Lapland. Do not be surprised to see our reindeer friends en-route

The hotel consists of individual accommodation units covered by wooden shingles and standing on tall poles between the trees. Appearing to wander down the hill and curiously peeking at the landscape and sky, they blend into their environment effortlessly. After check-in you can use the rest of the day to explore Rovaniemi, enjoy your unique accommodation and experience its nature activities such as reindeer safaris, husky safaris and snow mobile safaris.
