Visit Lapland – a magical place of Arctic landscapes and snow-dusted woodlands – on this six-day adventure through northern Finland. Strap on your hiking boots and crunch a path through Finland’s taigas, experience the rush of a real dogsled and steam your worries away in a traditional Finnish sauna. Finish your journey in Rovaniemi, where you can opt to extend your stay and keep the icy adventures going with a visit to the Santa Claus Village or a hike along the Ounasvaara Winter Trail. From the docks of Helsinki to remote Yllastunturi, witness a part of the world where Christmas always feels close.
