Wolly Sock Hike – As you embark on the Woolly Sock Hike, you’ll be outfitted with warm, woolly socks, keeping your feet toasty and comfortable throughout the journey. Follow your experienced guide through snow-covered trails, immersing yourself in the enchanting winter landscapes. After the invigorating hike, it’s time to unwind and pamper yourself in a cozy Tent Sauna. Enter the warmth of the sauna, letting the gentle heat relax your body and soothe your senses. Embrace the opportunity to go ice swimming before returning to the sauna tent and get ready for dinner. As evening approaches, gather around an open fire to indulge in a delicious dinner from the traditional Lapland cuisine.
National Park Trek- This day is full day experience in Inari’s most popular National Park areas. We begin by driving to Saariselkä where we have a trek in beautiful winter forest. After the trek we have lunch on top of one of the highest fjell’s of the area, Kaunispää. From Kaunispää we have great views for the surrounding wilderness areas and the National Park.
Tobogganing & Sauna - We have the longest tobogganing trail in Finland, 2000 meters of pure joy and terror! When we’re done with hills and speed we head to the Kiilopää Smoke Sauna with optional very refreshing ice swimming on a icy pond!
Sami Cultural Heritage – Learn more about the indigenous people of Lapland as the cultural heritage of the Sámi is immeasurably valuable. Today, you can explore it in the middle of beautiful Inari with a guide. If the ice on the nearby lake is strong enough, we may also try ice fishing! We’ll finish with a Lapland style lunch outdoors in a wilderness hut.
Reindeer Farm Visit – Get acquainted with these iconic animals of Lapland. The reindeer here are very tame and they will allow you to pet and feed them. Take a picture with one of them to capture the uniqueness of your time in Lapland!
